Jaffe on Xbox Activision & The Future of Xbox & PlayStation

David Jaffe joins me to discuss the Microsoft Activision Blizzard deal and his thoughts about the state of Xbox and PlayStation. We go over what Xbox needs to improve, what he'd like to see change at PlayStation, and a little bit about his history in the industry. His Sony PlayStation background creating God of War and being an icon of the PS2 era of gaming gives him a unique perspective on the CMA case, and both Xbox news today and PlayStation news today.
