SPEAKER_01:

Let's do this. Welcome everybody to another episode of Game of Traffic Show. I'm your host, Mike Sansome. Till of my co-host! Sibia Maze, how about you doing today? On today's Game of Traffic Show, we're gonna talk about your portal, PlayStation Portal, making big moves. We also are gonna talk about man Ghost, Ghost, not OT. It's making big moves and big sales, Mr. Amazon. But again, today's show told the biggest, biggest news in gaming. Mr. Mason was right, Mr. Amazon. Tell people. I gotta plug them. November 6th.

SPEAKER_00:

So a year from now, actually. November 19th, actually. Damn, Mr. November 19th, 2026. Yeah, this was an easy call because we had a conversation on air last time. Was it on air we had the conversation? We had on air, it was a couple episodes. Yeah, so we had a conversation and then we were talking about you was like, I was like, Mike, it's gonna delay because we haven't seen one trailer since they released that big trailer. And I'm like, this is a game that's supposed to be coming on in May. We should at least have like three trails by now. Nothing. So to me, that was telltelling sign. I was like, yo, this is gonna get delayed. And sure enough, Rockstar drops the bomb on us. Was it this week? Last week, whatever it was, they dropped the bomb on us. And Mike, please take it over. They said the game is delayed. And why? Can you please tell us why Mike is delayed?

SPEAKER_01:

For the powers, Mr. Amazon. Yes. Make sure the game is will say correct, done right, without glitches, like Mr. Mason, like the three-pack. Grant the other. That was horrible. Tony Tony's uh whatever it's called. Yeah, the three-pack was Sandreas. Um, was it Vice City?

SPEAKER_00:

I think there's one more, too. I forgot what it was.

SPEAKER_01:

Vice City and I forgot the uh third one in the pack. But listen, man, Miss Mason, it was screwed up. It was, it was. It was screwed up.

SPEAKER_00:

And I totally understand that, but I think it's more than that. I think it's just uh pressure. Because when you come in off of selling, what is it, 220 million of Dread The 405? Yeah, 220 million copies of Dread The 405, it's a lot of pressure to follow to have the game that thing. So I understand them delaying it. Not surprised at all, because usually leading up to a release of a game this soon coming up in less than like six months from now, you would have gotten more information. So I get it. I mean, remember when the games are all during COVID, everything was like do the COVID related, do the COVID related, do the COVID related. That was an excuse, but you know, the polish, which is normal. That's always been the thing in gaming world. Um, I'm not shocked. And I kind of expected this, but I am a little surprised. The only thing I'm surprised is is how far back they pushed it. I thought maybe they would have dropped it off in August, maybe. August, September, around there, but that November.

SPEAKER_01:

No, that's surprising November.

SPEAKER_00:

You think you don't think that's a kind of that's kind of deep for game from now all the way to November? You didn't think more like an August window would have been better.

SPEAKER_01:

Nah, but according to uh Inside Gamer Tom Edison, yeah, it veiled the cost of delay for Grand Theft Auto Six is costing them$10 million. Wow. Nor they got that much.$10 million. Nah, Mr. May, hold up. A month.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, that's a lot. So that's six months.

SPEAKER_01:

So that's 60 million. 60 million. This delay is costing them.

SPEAKER_00:

But this but the crazy thing about this, this delay is not just a rock star problem. This is a publisher's problem. Because now you got publishers all thinking like what you find out. Huh?

SPEAKER_01:

What do you mean by publisher's problem?

SPEAKER_00:

It's a publisher's problem. Other publishers. They're thinking about like uh Grant Theft Falls coming in November, scrap the deal, uh, not we're not dropping this anymore. Oh, okay, you know, like that.

SPEAKER_01:

So since you want to touch on that, I'll make some games, you told me who has a problem. All right, so that wouldn't be a problem. Okay, let's say who has a problem.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay, um, Marvel Woolverine. Do they have a problem?

SPEAKER_00:

What's that supposed to drop in November?

SPEAKER_01:

This fall.

SPEAKER_00:

Fall. I think I think it has a problem. I wouldn't drop it in. Why do you say that? Because you don't want to come out the same time as a as a big known game like that. But I was thinking November.

SPEAKER_01:

It'll probably drop in October.

SPEAKER_00:

October, I think. I think a five-week window between the two games is perfect. Anything more than five wind wizard i I think is bad. But it's not the same drama. It doesn't matter, Mike, because you want the hype to yourself.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, but I'm just saying, but it's October, it'll still it'll still pee, we'll say November, the number three selling game.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh, you're talking about Marvel.

SPEAKER_01:

Yes. Yeah, probably number three.

SPEAKER_00:

If it drops, let's say it drops October 1st, perfect. October 2nd, perfect. But October 30th, not good. No, it's not gonna happen. It's not happening. Not good. Not good. That's what I'm saying. Like, it depends on where in October you drop. October, beginning October, that's perfect. Because you you have a five-week, almost a five-week, you have more than a five-week window for you to own in that little window. That's fine. Like I said, five weeks or more between Daddy Grant Theft Auto, that's fine.

SPEAKER_01:

I mean, like Okay, I'll I'll hit you another one. Go ahead. Fable. Yeah, Fable.

SPEAKER_00:

Big time. Big time. Big, big, big, big, big time. I think uh Marvel, I'm not worried about because Marvel's gonna sell regardless. Fable, I'm not Fable wish I do think it's gonna sell in regards, but the thing is that Xbox needs the spots of their own because they are their poor sales.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, but they got plenty of games come out. I'll go another one. Does it really matter? What have they done? Fourzone Rise of 6.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't think that's coming out this year, though. It's coming out this year. Like 2026? I'm sorry, I'm saying this year 2026.

SPEAKER_01:

Um during that's that year, yes. 2026. It's a racist. Is there another game uh not the not the same?

SPEAKER_00:

Not the same genre. I think you I think they'll be okay.

SPEAKER_01:

This game might have a problem. Halo camping evolved.

SPEAKER_00:

Anything, I'm gonna say it right now, so I don't just so you know, anything Xbox major uh AAA game is gonna shouldn't come out around this time.

SPEAKER_01:

So you say Gears of War.

SPEAKER_00:

Gears of War, Fable, you name it. Nothing Xbox exclusive should come out around this time.

SPEAKER_01:

Mr. Mason. What's up? You said you said exclusive. Then let's keep it real. But a little bit of exclusive they still have. Before he goes on the PlayStation PC. Mr. Mason. Okay, I'm going with the big hitter, son. Big hitter.

SPEAKER_00:

Go ahead.

SPEAKER_01:

Call of Duty. Next Call of Duty game.

SPEAKER_00:

Yes. I I don't think you want to jump around that too. Because. You're talking the big time game, top seller every year. Matt for the spinster perspective. My son, who's heavy duty, Call of Duty kind of guy. And then mostly that's when he plays that in NBA 2K. But there's that third game he loves to play. Grand Defado. Grant Defward. You're asking him to play a game that he plays every month. Or, I mean, every year he gets his game to a game that he hasn't gotten in over 10 years. He's gonna be most likely people like him are gonna pick that game. They're thirsty for the game. Of course they're thirsty. And if that game is like that violet, cool game you don't get on the time. Everyone's talking about it. Nah. Call of D's in trouble. I wouldn't drop around that time. But they are. Because they always drop it on that time. That's what I'm saying. This is a publisher's nightmare right now.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay. Virtual fighter. The next game, next fighting.

SPEAKER_00:

Fighting games are okay.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

I think fighting games are okay. You can always pick up a fighting game and go. That's nothing. I think you're okay. But I do think even a game like Madden. Because you got the game. Madden comes out. But they're saying that. Yeah, but there's according to IGM, what they're saying is games like that, like sports games, a lot of them might push up their release dates to things. I know. They were saying that. They might push up. This is a ride for E IG. Nothing's here's concrete.

SPEAKER_01:

But they're saying they can't. They probably don't even play push up their things. Why would they why would they put how we're gonna push it?

SPEAKER_00:

No, they we don't push it. You can't. And I mean, I think who might who might push out their thing is maybe FIFA. Because of the uh the World Cup. FIFA comes in October. Yeah, but then but but it makes more sense for them to push up because of several reasons. The World Cup, and then you also want to avoid the World Cup Cup Cup Cup Cup.

SPEAKER_01:

So let me ask you a question. So so the games come out early December. You're talking about uh we're talking about any games that might might be affected by Call of Duty.

SPEAKER_00:

Five-week window. November 19th, you you can't no games can come out within the five window before or after. That's my thing. Nothing for that five-week window is it's you'll do it's all especially the one I feel bad for the most is it's Xbox because they need the the soul attention, they need the soul attention just on Grand Theft. I mean, just on Gears, just on um Fable. They need soul attention. Xbox, for example, whatever game they they drop, it'll get the sales regardless. It'll eventually get the sales that it was gonna get if being that so Xbox and the soul game.

SPEAKER_01:

How do we know the sales? It's on Game Pass.

SPEAKER_00:

No, but remember, well, yes, you're right. Yes, you are right, but they don't know from the streams. They don't release it to us, but they will know from it from the streams. How would they do it? Oh, you know, yeah. I I wouldn't be surprised if they move up these games, to be honest with you. Who knows? But I thought Highlight Day 2026 was supposed to be uh uh a thin window from what I was reading. Well, I thought it was supposed to be.

SPEAKER_01:

With not that much uh games all now. Remember, a lot of people announced the games.

SPEAKER_00:

They haven't announced when they're gonna come out, though, but I think with this, this is a game changer. I think a lot of games come in and be like, you know what? We're gonna come out in January. We're gonna come out in early early. Oh, yeah, that's gonna come out. That's probably gonna be a summer game.

SPEAKER_01:

The PlayStation School Saurus is coming out early.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I'm not interested in that. I was interested by that too. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_01:

Crimson Desert, that's coming out early. Okay. So those games I'm not gonna worry about. That's listening. I don't know where the new uh the PlayStation Marvel fighting game is coming out, but that should be fine. That should be fine. If we was guessing, I'd probably say that's the one. It's gonna be evil. Around evil. May April?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, like yeah, around evil. So that I think they're gonna be fine too.

SPEAKER_01:

May April.

SPEAKER_00:

But mate, I got a question for you. Do you, it's an early prediction though. Do you think this is uh Rockstar's final delay?

SPEAKER_01:

I thought about saying something wacky and saying that it's a delay to January 2026. I know me. Oh 2027? Is it delayed January 27?

SPEAKER_00:

Wow, that's just too much, I think.

SPEAKER_01:

But also remember they also got some complication where people got fired from Rockstar. Which is true. And those are the people they said was trying to unionize.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh, you that's right. We did talk about that.

SPEAKER_01:

I think we don't think we talked about it. I think I mentioned it, but off air. But that also complicates things too.

SPEAKER_00:

So then you're not confident this is their last delay then?

SPEAKER_01:

Well, let's keep 100. It's still early. People, let's keep 100. Rockstar has a history of delaying games. Of course. Well, that's normal. Let's let's go back. Grand Theft All Three, one of the biggest games in the 2000s, was delayed. Well, maybe it's delayed because the terror attack in um September 11. They pushed that game back.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, remember, because they also have to take the stuff of the building out the game too, remember? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, three weeks.

SPEAKER_01:

Smuggler Run 2. Smuggler's Run 2 was also released with GJ3, was also delayed as well.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay.

SPEAKER_01:

Mr. Amazing, Grand Theft Order was also delayed.

SPEAKER_00:

The first one, five?

SPEAKER_01:

Four. Four. Grand Theft Auto 4 was also delayed. That poster came out October 7th. It didn't arrive out until January, 2008.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay, October, November, what three months. But it's not too bad.

SPEAKER_01:

Not like a year like this one is. But no, it didn't come out that day. It came out April 4th. Oh. 2008.

SPEAKER_00:

So that came out about six, seven months later.

SPEAKER_01:

Yes.

unknown:

Mr.

SPEAKER_01:

Mason. Red Death Redemption was your favorite games. My favorite games, yep. That was called fall 2017. Oh, no, sorry. From fall 2017 to spring 2018.

SPEAKER_00:

That was that button time.

SPEAKER_01:

Then came out October 2018.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, that I remember because I was tight about that.

SPEAKER_01:

Because some of the games will have one delay, but some of the games have three or four delays. So Rockstar has been known for delays. So we should not be surprised by the delays.

SPEAKER_00:

Was it um the one with um Keanu Reese that kept getting delayed a lot too? Who? Oh my god. Cyberpunk? CyberPod. That got delayed a lot, too, right? Not really. Was that getting delayed a whole bunch of times?

SPEAKER_01:

Probably once okay. I really don't remember. Oh no, I remember the bugs. The bugs. And how they flip. It should have got delayed, maybe. Maybe, maybe I meant to say should have got the colour. But it did got better than that. When it got clean, it got clean. It was really good. We just give it credit where credit's due. And also, Mr. Maze, reporting with the delays, take two stocks sank 7%.

SPEAKER_00:

Of course. That's a hit for them. Think about it. You're an economy, right? It's not at the strongest, despite what everyone would think. And you're facing crazy tariffs. This was gonna be our our window to make our money, and then boom, you gotta wait a whole year. So between now and then, someone's getting fired, Michael. It's inevitable. And that's not funny though, but I'm saying like the money. Like you give it a downsides, because you know, a lot a lot of things were banking on on Grand Theft Auto's release. A lot of people. Not only that, Gay Stock was probably banking on it. Best buy, a lot of people's banking on this on the release for this thing.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh yeah, a lot of people uh will count when council sales will count on May, but it's good for holiday season for next year.

SPEAKER_00:

But thanks, can you a lot of people just can't wait until 2026 holiday season? So I'm trying to tell you. No, I'm talking about like some people can't survive. Like uh uh uh you know, some stores just can't survive that. They need the sales. I mean the sales from Grand Theft Auto. Well, what stores gonna store's gonna die? What are you talking about? I'm just talking about just in general, like the the company, like you know, other places, like the third parties and stuff that work, you know, that sells Grand Theft Auto, like that. Like they those were the Grand Theft Auto is gonna generate income for them, is what I'm trying to say.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, but uh, yeah, I understand. But the Holly Season is the big scene where people start spending money uh willy-nilly at times. You sometimes when the comedy suck, people still go out there and spend money willy-nilly. So the only thing is I would say for console sales, it'll be it'll be down for this. I mean, it'll be pull that 2026, it'd be a good year to buy PlayStation 6 in Xbox.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, it would be.

SPEAKER_01:

Uh Nintendo Switch 2 will not have a Grand Theft Auto 2.

SPEAKER_00:

Did they say that? Yeah, we're assuming that.

SPEAKER_01:

I mean, sorry, Grand Theft Auto 6. No.

SPEAKER_00:

But they said that though.

SPEAKER_01:

We're assuming that's not it's not. We don't know that though, man. We don't know that. You keep saying that nuts. We don't know that. This dude keep this dude makes some damn prediction else. Yo, they're gonna announce it. Oh, Grant the All 6 for Twitter Switch.

SPEAKER_00:

Get the heck dude. Get the heck. You heard it now. Nintendo has not said it yet.

SPEAKER_01:

Did Grant of All Five come out of Nintendo Switch?

SPEAKER_00:

No, I didn't.

SPEAKER_01:

So shut the hell off.

SPEAKER_00:

All right, but this is a new generation, the new thing. And this is be a good segue to talk about it because there's a reason why I'm saying this. There's a reason why I'm saying this. There's a reason why I'm saying, Mike, the numbers don't lie, and the tells we get numbers. We'll talk about that shortly. Well, no, let's go. Let's go to the tunnel numbers. Cause what you're saying is go to the tenth numbers. Let's go jump right to the next topic.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, you're saying that's what you're saying.

SPEAKER_00:

No, go to go, let's jump into the next topic.

SPEAKER_01:

No, Mr. Tell, you jump in the numbers, Mr. Nintendo.

SPEAKER_00:

Wow, beautiful, thank you. So, ladies and gentlemen, this gets hyped. As we all know. You pressing gotta break that controller. The switch, which is about six months old now, I want to say, right? About six months old to Switch 2.

unknown:

Is it six months?

SPEAKER_00:

I think so. Did it come out in uh June? So five, go on six months, but five months.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, that's for your pressure. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_00:

So the Switch 2, ladies and gentlemen, as of September 30th, has sold 10.36 million consoles.

SPEAKER_01:

You tell Mr. Maze and Mr. Until he had to add the point, two point something. That's right. Carry the one, carry the one percentage.

SPEAKER_00:

That right. And to put that to perspective, let me show you guys how that how impressive this is. The switch one, which which sold amazingly well in that same time frame, sold under two million. So let that take it to you out.

SPEAKER_01:

It's still under two, not under two million.

SPEAKER_00:

Under two million copies. The switch one in that same six-month time frame.

SPEAKER_01:

And it's still under two million consoles.

SPEAKER_00:

My under, under, yes, it did. It sold under two million copies in that same front time frame. Right, you're correct.

SPEAKER_01:

The switch one. That can also show you. But also the show, it was hard to get the switch more than that.

SPEAKER_00:

It was hard to get, but so was the switch too.

SPEAKER_01:

No, you can't, no, you get the switch too. Now you could get it. Yes. Come on, you can get it. The month after it came out, you could have got it to store it.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, agree. But Mike, no, don't take away from it. Don't take away from a Nintendo shot, Michael. Just get Nintendo's credit. Just get just ride with the flow. Hold on, no. Yo, who's a godfather gaming? Nintendo, baby.

SPEAKER_01:

That's what I'm talking about.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. So this is very impressive numbers we're talking about. And it is so impressive. You know what Nintendo did? Go tell the people. Tell the people it's amazing. Tell the people. It's gonna be a lot of hype for this thing. Nintendo upped their forecast because of this. They're so impressed with their self. Their fiscal year ends in March of 2026. They look at the bureau and say, TM1 pretty. Go ahead. Pretty much. What they said was, you know what? We're gonna up our four our forecast to sell an extra four to four minutes. So they're projected to sell between 15 million by March. They said, nah, we could do 19 million. Ladies and gentlemen, that is impressive numbers right now.

SPEAKER_01:

I think we'll hit 20.

SPEAKER_00:

I think so. Especially with the holiday season. Hell yeah, they can hit 20. There's a lot of people that don't have the switch to yet. There's a lot of people that don't have it yet. So this is impressive stuff about Nintendo right now. And what coincides with that, Mike, when we talk about Sales of Account? So what goes with it? Money? Well, money, yes, obviously. Games. Games. Yes, games. So that means Nintendo also sold, Switch 2 sold over 20 million games in that time frame as well. Obviously, leading the way is Super Mario. Mario Kart in the world, yeah. At 10 million, so half their sales is that. And which I thought was kind of low, was DockyCon. Oh, that's 3.5 million. I mean, it's impressive. But I thought it's nothing that stays that. No, it's nothing impressive. But like I thought I thought it'd be a little bit higher to be honest with you. But the reason Mario Kart is because the bundle.

SPEAKER_01:

If it was Zelda, then I would be like, because Zelda's Zelda's hot.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. But but Mario's numbers are impressive like that because of the bundle off. Because I think they sold 8.1 million um with the bundle units. Yeah, most definitely. So that that helps a lot, actually.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, I bought it with the bundle. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta get with the bundle. Yeah, we gotta get a switch game on. I have several Switch games. So I'm done. Cause we gotta finish our Contra game. Well, I bought it for the Switch.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, okay, you're dumb. That'd be done.

SPEAKER_01:

And a couple other games. We'll talk about it later this later this year, Twitch games we played. Or what we're playing next week. Boy.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, so Nintendo's having a great, great six months, man. So shout out to Dumb. I mean, what I what can I say, man? They're impressive. And everybody that's that you know what's on them always says, Well, this is for kids. This is this is this is not a, you know, hardcard games on Play Switch 2. They don't care. Oh yeah, but they don't care.

SPEAKER_01:

They still project the sales for the OG Switch for uh during this time for I believe four as far as they dropped it though. Yeah, for it was now it was 4.5 million, now they said 4 million.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, they dropped it a little bit. Because the reason they dropped it because the switch tools do so well, people were just like, if let's think about it, you throw an extra 150 bucks, 200 bucks, you can just get the switch too.

SPEAKER_01:

The money erased the price of the switch.

SPEAKER_00:

It didn't raise the price, but they did it on purpose, though. Because that price hike was supposed to be on the switch too, to be honest with you, because of the tariffs, but they was just like, damn, we're this thing's so too high. We can't carry the price, yo.

SPEAKER_01:

You're speculating. Huh?

SPEAKER_00:

I am speculating, but but but put two and two together on Mike though.

SPEAKER_01:

Put two and two together, though. Yeah, but you say you're gonna be honest, like yo, your inside makes it break. I don't know inside.

SPEAKER_00:

I wish I did, but I know. But you'll be honest with you, though.

SPEAKER_01:

Speculation, okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Be honest with you. If you're gonna do a put a tariff, would you put on your new system? Would you put on your old one that people are not buying anymore? I see what you're saying. You put on your old one.

SPEAKER_01:

Be honest with you. But they also said it could substitute change.

SPEAKER_00:

It could subject to substitute to change. Keep it real, it's gonna go up. I think the switch too's gonna go back after the first fiscal year ends in March. We're gonna get a price hike. I think they're gonna let it rock for the first fiscal year, which ends in March. Then after that, price hike is kicking in. But as we did see though, but it hasn't happened on still on hardwares yet. It happened mostly on food. Uh we Trump signed an order yesterday. Was it yesterday? Uh resending a lot of his tariffs due to the economy not doing well. So maybe that might maybe if it gets to the hardware for the makers of the consoles, that the price goes low. We never have to see a price hike. So we'll see. We'll see. We'll see how things are. We're still early, but we'll see. Like I said, we will probably get a price hike after March. I do think when it's gonna come. It's just inevitable. But Nintendo, keep doing what you're doing, baby. You're shining right now. You're shining. All right, Mike Mac.

SPEAKER_01:

Lead the way, brother. All right. The next topic we're going to, Mr. Amazing, PlayStation Portal. This is the thing. When it first came out, myself and Mr. Amazon, we laughed at it. Big time. Who's gonna buy a system? You can't even play in your bathroom without the PlayStation 5 turned on. This is a joke. So we just wasted the money. Damn, we were wrong. Yeah, I think for the past year and a half, it's been the top um We know very well. A top uh uh what do you call it? This is a P. What's your handheld? Uh not top hand off. Um other than the PlayStation 5 is the hottest property they have to say. Okay. Um I can't say the word.

SPEAKER_00:

What word were you trying to say? Damn it. You know what I'm talking about. The top is what? Accessory.

SPEAKER_01:

Accessory. Oh, okay, but it's just accessory. Okay. Yeah. Sorry, people. So that's when the top has been the top 10 of Amazon for the longest. And the top hottest product.

SPEAKER_00:

So just take a perspective. How long does the portal been on two years or three years this time? Almost two years now?

SPEAKER_01:

I think it's been two years? We came about last year. Came about last year. Came about last year. So it's a year and it's a year, almost a year. No, it's more than yeah. I think it's two years.

SPEAKER_00:

What are we talking about? Let me let you continue.

SPEAKER_01:

So let's continue. The PlayStation Portal, like I said, we laughed at it. Mr. Mason Portal has made major updates as one of the hottest accessories for the Playstation 5. So, Mr. Mason, guess what? Two years? Tomorrow. Yeah, two years. So right, two years. All right. So, Mr. Amazon, it will now have cloud streaming unlocked. Now you have an opportunity to play over 2,000 games. Oh, your PlayStation Portal. These games may include your God of Wars, yo, your Uncharted games, Mr. Amazon, it's big time, Final Fantasy game, Last of Us Part 2, God of the World Ragnarok, Hogwarts Legacy. It goes on and on, Mr. Amazon.

SPEAKER_00:

But what do you need to play it, though? You need to have a what?

SPEAKER_01:

But, Mr. Amazon, you're gonna need PlayStation Premium. I know, which is like my PlayStation. Which is$159. If you think about it, it's still cheaper than most handhelds if you include the handheld and the premium service. And sometimes you get cheap on GameStop for$15,$160. But once people find, that's gonna be gone, Mr. Man. That's gonna sell out. Because that means you don't need a place in the kicker is you don't need a place in five. Uh-oh.

SPEAKER_00:

S box, Xbox ticket notes. You don't need a place in five. No, no, this is good. I mean, yes, this is a good thing. It's a good it's a good bargain. I mean, I mean, that premium's up there, though. But it's still a good bargain. No, but Ms.

SPEAKER_01:

Base, it's cheaper than the Steam Deck.

unknown:

Which is true.

SPEAKER_01:

It's cheaper than the uh the Switch.

SPEAKER_00:

So now is this officially considered uh a handheld now? Can we call it a handheld? Yo, call what you want. But, but, but, but, but this is my question I have for you. Do you need Wi-Fi to play? Yeah, yeah, you need all the players. So the t I can't, because I can't call that a handheld if you need Wi-Fi to play, man. That's what you need Wi-Fi with a play the most.

SPEAKER_01:

No. I mean cloud cloud streaming.

SPEAKER_00:

Cloud streaming, yes. I'm saying, like, yeah, I can't go into a train station and play it. No.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, you got cloud streaming. Unless you're not gonna be able to do it. I need some kind of Wi-Fi. Unless you're in China with a play, where actually you can actually get Wi-Fi on train stations.

SPEAKER_00:

So uh I it's hard for me to call something handheld if you if I can't play without a few. And download it together. But I understand what you're saying. I can't call it still handheld. But still at the end of the day, it's still impressive what they're doing where they come from. We didn't think of the numbers themselves on this, man. We think of the numbers on here.

SPEAKER_01:

It's according to PlayStation, uh, 5% of PlayStation owners have a portal. Five percent? Yes. That's low. That's pretty actually pretty good. Five percent? Isn't that low? That's pretty good.

SPEAKER_00:

So, what's compared to what people have a virtual uh VR then?

SPEAKER_01:

Let's talk about that. I bought I bought both of those VR. Yo, that's crazy. You bought that, I've yet to play it. That's crazy. I mean, I mean, we haven't got time to play it. But I pull it up when I played it, it's really good. You put the you put the day that he got it. Yeah, I put the day that got it. I put it. I played it after. I did play it afterwards twice.

SPEAKER_00:

I've yet to see it to be honest with you. I played twice afterwards. Let's make let's put you, put it, put on your bar. Play play the VR. Put on your bar. I haven't yet to play it yet, yo.

SPEAKER_01:

We'll we'll play it this week. We'll play this week. All right, Mike has a board where him of his list of dude things put it on there. So we'll know what we'll put I'll put it off next Tuesday and we're gonna be gonna play it.

SPEAKER_00:

All right, fine. I've yet to play, I've yet to play this thing.

SPEAKER_01:

You had to put it in.

SPEAKER_00:

You got a year from a year from December, I remember.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, border when it's like 350. Yeah, I remember that.

SPEAKER_00:

Don't worry, by next year, it'll be 20 to 50, 100, 150 mics. Don't worry, y'all.

SPEAKER_01:

So, I thought about getting the portal. I thought about, like I said, I'm not a hand held game player.

SPEAKER_00:

Listen, but do you think it'd be cool for you? Like, because I know you do some you want to other jobs at night, you maybe want to just jump on that. Maybe it'll be kind of cool to do that. You don't see what's doing? If they I think I think it's for you, your purpose, and even for my son, I think if they can add the the Netflix or something to cast.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, they just have Netflix or Hulu.

SPEAKER_00:

If they could do that, I think it'll be a game changer.

SPEAKER_01:

The only thing is probably Nintendo Switch doesn't have that. Netflix or they don't? Yeah, I think they have Hulu on the sp or the Yeah, why does the Nintendo have that?

SPEAKER_00:

That's crazy. I guess, well, I guess it's all. But Mr. Maze, I'm asking you a question.

SPEAKER_01:

Is this a um since it's new development, this a uh we would say the new Xbox handheld slash ROG handheld? Is this kill would that kill it?

SPEAKER_00:

No. You don't think so? Because that's a true handheld. That's a true handheld. But Mr.

SPEAKER_01:

May access over 2,000 games. Yes. It's only 200 bucks.

SPEAKER_00:

For that purpose, yes, that's dope. But that thing's the Xbox X. MS Amazing.

SPEAKER_01:

MS. Ms. Amazing. It's a thousand bucks. I know. Xbox.

SPEAKER_00:

The price sucks, but you have access to a lot of PC games too on that, my man. So that's gonna sell. I don't think so. That's gonna sell. I don't think so. I don't think it's gonna sell as well as it though, as the portal, because of the price. Obviously, you can't beat 200. Oh, sorry, pardon me. You can't beat$200.

SPEAKER_01:

I just think I just think I think the portal would dominate them.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't know about dominate, because it does have a head start, so I can see maybe that's what I'm saying. I guarantee. Dominate in the sense that you got you got a two-year head start, maybe more than two-year head start though. Maybe in that sense, but I don't think it's gonna be a clear-cut, better system than it, though.

SPEAKER_01:

That I disagree with you. I know you allowed this agree. He allowed to be wrong, too.

SPEAKER_00:

It's like saying, is it because your argument making it to me is because of the price is$200. It's like you're saying it's been in the Steam Deck. Is it is it a Steam Deck killer? Huh? I'm actually, do you think it's been in the Steam Deck now? Because uh because of that feature? No, I don't think it's I was stuck, I'll pick a Steck a Steam Deck over that, to be honest with you.

SPEAKER_01:

Well, yeah, I understand that.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, okay. So that's the I mean, I'm just trying to differentiate it where you where you're coming from because I is it the price point you're making the argument?

SPEAKER_01:

It's a pr I think that it's a price point. And also the once you the once she had the premium, you got you know, the access to all those games you have access to.

SPEAKER_00:

All right. Financial, I agree with you, it makes way more sense to get that. But if I'm a handheld and handheld enthusiastic enthusiast, I'm gonna get uh a Steve Day before I got that.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, but if you're you're if you're into a PlayStation Eagle system, you're gonna get the portal.

SPEAKER_00:

You're gonna get the portal. Oh, well, I'm not mad at that. No, I'm mad at that.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_01:

Alright, Mr. Mason, anything else wanna say about the portal?

SPEAKER_00:

Uh no. I want to share something with you guys later on. A story. It's a quick story, though.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh Lord. Storytime, Mr. Amazing. You wanna now? You wanna let it later? Well later of the show. Later the show. I later showed. All right, people, let's go to our trail of the week, Mr. Amazon. Our trail of the week is Five Nights of Freddy Part 2. Oh, really? Check it out, people. Mr. Amazon, five nights of Freddy Part 2, Mr. Amazon. Do you green light a yellow light or green light this trailer, Mr. Amazon?

SPEAKER_00:

It's hard for me to say because I didn't see the first one. I don't know too much about Freddy Keeping Rush. I don't know too much about it. So I'm I'm neutral. I'm gonna say yellow because I don't know too much about it. From what I saw the trailer, okay. To me, just okay. I keep it punk with you. I don't know too much about the show.

SPEAKER_01:

I saw the first one. Uh the movie did well. So um I saw it. I didn't think it was not a bad movie. I thought it was going to absolutely suck, but it was not a bad movie. I'm actually excited about it. I'm gonna green light it. Okay. I'm gonna green light this trailer. All right. I can't I can't, like I said. I this is all you. It's all me, it's all me. It's always on me. It's all you, brother. So, Mr. Mason gives it y'all light. I give the green light. Yes, sir. It is coming out December 5th, Mr.

unknown:

Mason.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm correct. That is correct. That's the day we saw. In the movie, in the movie at movie theaters, not streaming people. Go to what we did, people. Support your Nova Theater. Damn it. AMC stock is falling out of stock in them. I know. It's God. It's God. Yeah, get out the house and have fun. Mr. Amazon, let's go to Should We Care Top, Mr. Amazon. This is a very important thing. Mr. Amazon, according to the article on Bloomboard, it's reported that women work in the video game industry is earning 24% than their male counterparts, Mr. Amazon. Damn, in a new survey that recently happened, Mr. Mason, and the gap is larger in the good old USA, Mr. Mason.

SPEAKER_00:

Of course. Damn Capitol Center.

SPEAKER_01:

So unbelievable, Mr. Mason.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm surprised, though. I mean, well, it's it's something I hate this that women in any pretty much every field, they are, they make less than their counterpart, counterparts, males. So I'm not surprised in the video game. The only thing I'm surprised is that big, that's a big one, though. 24% is a big one, actually.

SPEAKER_01:

And it also coins this article, it just says 6% of women and non-binary people working in video game country believe they're undercompensated, according to a report, which survey over 560 uh people it works in the video game industry this past July, Mr. Amazon.

SPEAKER_00:

How do we change it? My thing is we know the pronoun. How do we change it though? Because don't do we should give women bigger roles within the industry.

SPEAKER_01:

There are women bigger roles, but let's keep let's keep 100 people. I bet you if we like a lot of males in nursing. I bet you there's a lot of people.

SPEAKER_00:

There is a lot of males in the world.

SPEAKER_01:

I wanted to be able to.

unknown:

Probably.

SPEAKER_00:

There's a lot of males. There is. There's a lot of males, but obviously, there's a woman-dominated field, but I wouldn't be surprised before what you just said.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

And I hate that about this world. Women should be equally paid as well, man.

SPEAKER_01:

I totally agree, but as a man, I'll take that money. Baby, you're gonna make my money. So I'll take that money. But Mr. Bayes, should we care a lot, a little, not at all, but a lot, because I want to change.

SPEAKER_00:

I want to change for them.

SPEAKER_01:

We gotta say that people because we don't get canceled.

SPEAKER_00:

I truly generally want to change for them. Because you know, my that could be my daughter, it could be my nieces, it could be my little my little cousins, could be anybody. I want to change for a woman. They should be making pay for what they what they know, what they work hard for. So yeah, I definitely want to change.

SPEAKER_01:

We definitely care. We care a lot. I mean, we want to see that everybody get prepared fairly for the work in the ass in the video game industry or other industries as well. Agree. All right, Mr. Mason, we both uh care a lot about this topic.

SPEAKER_00:

Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_01:

We also didn't want to get canceled. Mr. Mason, yo, let's go to our gangster awakes of the week. Mr. Mason, anybody who's not familiar with AJ Round, he's a wide receiver for the Eagles. He was on a live streamer with uh Yankee Rondo. And you know, during the live streaming, um the streamer asked, how's everything going? He said, Everything's good. Everything good with your kids, everything good. Everything good with your wife, yeah, everything's good. How's everything else? Nah, it's a problem with everything else. I'm just paraphrasing. So basically, he was he was explaining his frustration and the streaming. He told people not to pull in the fancy league, cause he's not getting the ball, Mr. Amazon. So, Mr. Amazon, during the Madden, is this playing this during Madden? He threw a touchdown, so he's playing the Eagles, so he threw a touchdown to himself. So he said, this is what it is what he could do when he's getting touches. Mr. Amazon, was this a gangster or wangster move? You're live streaming your complaints on the live stream.

SPEAKER_00:

It's about me, myself, and I with this guy right now. Your team is what I think eight and two, number one team in your division. Just won a Super Bowl from what I remember a year ago. And you out here complaining on a team sport, and a lot of times it sucks because this this position to be the hottest position to be in the 80s between one and back and receivers. Now they're like one of the one of the like what receiving. Like they're they're not as popular anymore like they were back now. They're not as popular anymore anymore. What the hell? Who the win is that it is, yes, it is. No, it's not here. Stop it, stop it. Let me tell you right now. It used to be back in the early 90s, 80s. You you gave me the top receivers big time. You gave Jerry Rice, give me your Terrell Owens, yeah. Give me your uh oh my god, going blank. Megatron, whoever it is. No, no, just give me give me three top receivers that's with the comparable to those names I just gave you. Jeffries. Jeffries Jeffrey's who Jeffries. Well, Jeffries, exactly. He's alright. He ain't he ain't already mossy. Come on, Mike. You know, stop, stop. This is a losing fact. Receivers are not respecting this league. They don't even make money like that compared to the kind of art. They make money, but not they're making that. Nobody's making QB money. Well, I'm just saying. Only running back, only uh come on, stop it. I mean, running back's obviously that that position felt hard. Stop it. But he made it, Mr. Mason, he didn't get enough sleep.

SPEAKER_01:

He's the only one he's talking about. No, I'm sorry. No, yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

And the thing is that teens can be big A-holes. And the reason I said that is okay, for that would be like, okay, where are you?

SPEAKER_01:

Why would she still get paid? Why receive the still paying? They are getting paid. They are, though.

SPEAKER_00:

But they're not I feel like a team, if uh a team with a good quarterback.

SPEAKER_01:

If you don't have, if you don't have no, if Jason, you're your quarterback with the Giants, if he don't got received the throw to, he ain't jacked.

SPEAKER_00:

Let me ask you a question now, right now. Let me mention a question, right? You talk about team, look at a team like the Buffalo Bills. Who was that what's that big damage received? What did they do with that? Did they get their butt with the book? What did they do? Stefan does the same thing this guy does. Where's he at now? He knows the dance. What are your favorite teams? Kansas City. Your homeboy. Ike. Right? I go, I go. I will the cheetah. The cheetah. Right? He did the same thing too. He wanted the money, the money is. He did the same crap too. He was the meet me. He wanted the money. They said his bad his black behind some Miami. Is he happy there? Hell no, he ain't happy. I think receivers have a bad name. It's sus because receivers do have a bad name. I'm gonna lie to you. You consider Primo Donald's.

SPEAKER_01:

Even with uh my my favorite team, the 49ers, Rock Purdy without the Avengers. He ain't he gonna be a big thing. I agree. I agree. Patrick Holmes, yes, he made a Super Bowl, one Super Bowl. But when Patrick Holmes have no rules, had no rules wide receivers, it didn't happen, Mr. Maze.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, my thing is this is what I'm gonna do. It works as Madden video games, but not in real life. No, but this is what I try to tell you is that you can win a Super Bowl without having a top tier receiver. You can. If you have a good team around, you can win a super. Because think about it, you don't need a top tier receiver to win Super Bowl anymore. It's just it's just the lesson of the game now. It gets to get there, you're gonna need a top receiver.

SPEAKER_01:

It helps. If you get there, they're gonna receive. But when you play the best in the best, you gotta make they're gonna try to take your best player. It's not for why they're gonna try to take it away.

SPEAKER_00:

Listen. Let's keep it wrong. It helps, but I don't think you need it. I am talking too much about sports show though. But anyway, man, I do agree with you as a wangster for this move, though, because you're putting yourself before the team there. So to me, that's a wangster move.

SPEAKER_01:

Okay. All right, people. Uh don't forget to buy Madden. 26. He has a good rating. AJ Rogers did rating on this. He does. He does. I use him. Yeah, I still whip his butt in Madden. Okay, Mr. Mason. Let's go to shout the week. The shout of the week is Ghost of Utah. It sold Mr. Amazon over 3.3 million copies for the first month. Confirmed by Sony, Mr. Amazon. A part of fiscal results. Sony says Sucker Punch PlayStation Exclusive is doing, didn't he say is it happy about it, but it's doing well, Mr. Amazon. It's very well. Mr. Amazon. It's a month, dude. That's in one month. But Mr. Mason, if you compare it to the predecessor, go self. Yeah, but that came out doing COVID period. Oh, Shima, Ghost of Shima, it's doing the COVID period. It sold 2.4 million in the first one, two, three days, Mr. Maze. Yeah, but that's COVID. Everyone's old. It's COVID. And by the end of what? What 2020? It hit 5 million copies.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, because then the PlayStation 5 came out. It came on the PC release.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, and it also had the um the PlayStation 5 uh director's cut. Yeah, that doesn't work. Also, now up to 13 million copies sold.

SPEAKER_00:

I think Ghost might surpass that, be honest with you. It's a pretty good game. I'm playing it right now, actually. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_01:

Alright, Mr. So, Mr. Mason, that's a shout of the week, Mr. Maze.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm with that. That's a good shout out. Shout out to them, man. Keep it going straight.

SPEAKER_01:

What's the other shout out, Mr. Mason? Oh, shout out to Freddie Cougar, baby.

SPEAKER_00:

Give his real name, Mike. Damn, you just said it to me, man. Barbara England. Sorry. Yes. He got a Star of Fame fine how they well deserved. I don't know why it took that long for him to get that.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

But he deserved it, man. Shout out to you, Freddie. You always gonna call it.

SPEAKER_01:

You thought he remembered his name. Damn it. Had to pull a faster. Let me just pause right here. So Mr. Mason remembers his name. But also, there was talking about rumors. Not rumors. I think somebody may have suggested have Jim Carrey playing credit Freddie Krueger. Yes. But remember he played. He could pull it off.

SPEAKER_00:

Jake's a great actor. He could pull it off. He can pull it off. He can pull it off. He can pull it off.

SPEAKER_01:

He's doing it for the sonic.

SPEAKER_00:

Because Freddie's funny. He's an asshole. Jim could pair it off, actually. I was gonna say hell no. In the body motion with James. But Jimmy's older now, though. Yeah, we think Rob Ringo's just about spring Jimmy. What's the last time he did a Freddie, though?

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, but still, he's close to the show. He's close to 60 years old. He can still pull that off. Jimmy's like a 400-pound man. That's true.

SPEAKER_00:

It's not it's it's it's in character. You got Cam Cruz hanging on airplanes at his age. Come on, man. That is true. And Samuel Johnson still plays some of the coolest actors and then all their older statements and did killing the rolls. Alright. You got the rock. We don't talk about the rock.

SPEAKER_01:

That's still my dude. You know what I'm saying? Rock gave. Yeah, that's still my dude. We love you, Rock. Let's do the game of trapping show.

unknown:

That's right.

SPEAKER_01:

That's right. But everybody, yo, this is the end of the show.

SPEAKER_00:

No, no, no, no, no. I got one story to tell them. It's a cool story.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm trying to skip the story. He's gonna tell the story now.

SPEAKER_00:

Whatever. So last week, you know, I'm in the front yard. I'm raking with my son. We're raking with a lot, a lot of dead grass at that time of year, yeah, in New York. So a man and his daughter are walking by. I'm raking. He goes, hey, because we have we had the we had the garbage with the you know, putting the dead leaves in. He goes, My man, can I throw this in your can I throw this in your um garbage? I go, I go, yeah, whatever. I just throw away it. I didn't even look up. So then I look up. I'm like, yo, it's you, it's you. Ladies and gentlemen, I met Jamie Hector. For those who know him, that is Marlowe from the wire. That was pretty cool for Marlowe from the wire with the scar in his face. Oh yeah. Yeah. I was like, I was like, oh snap! He goes, he goes, 'cause as soon as I did that, I go, and then my son's looking at me like, bro, what why is this guy all giggy and happy? My son's not getting it. I'm like, Tyler, that's why that's that's that's Marl. I didn't know it was Dave. I thought when I googled, I just was Jimmy Hector. I was like, that's Marlo, but my son didn't know who the hell Jim Marlowe was. He was very cool. So I went up to he shook my hand. I was like, he's telling me he's he's looking for property. He's he's gonna look into my two houses down the block. And we spoke for a little bit. He asked me how the neighborhood was. Cool, brother. Did you take a picture? That's what everybody asks me next. Why did you take a picture with him? I go no, because my phone was in the house. I was raking. This dude always had a phone on him. Sure said the same thing too. Oh, he had a phone on him. I and then I and then I think he was in his door, too. So I was like, I'm not gonna ask her. But he was cool. I'm sure if I said you're giving me a second picture, I'm sure he would have said yeah. He would have said yeah. But that was kind of cool. I'm like, I just met the baddest bad villain walking in Freeport. But he was cool, though. Super nice guy, man. Hope he got his house, whatever he's looking to look at, though. That would be cool if you saw Omar, Omar's dead, man. Omar's dead. What? Him, I would have got the picture for you. Him out of the red guy, yeah. You crazy? That'd have been my Facebook, my Facebook theme picture, my phone, I'd have raised my kids, I'd have put him on there. That would have been cool, man. We rest in peace, though. He's a great actor because I love him from the wire. I love him from um Broadwork Empire. There's so much other stuff he did that I like him. He's a great actor, underrated, also, man. I feel I think he's very underrated, actually. But yeah, that's my other story I wanted to share with y'all.
