We discuss Sony\u2019s forecast for selling PS5\u2019s in the next fiscal year, and how it would nearly double the number of PlayStation 5\u2019s out there, meaning a lot more players could jump onto PlayStation\u2019s latest console. We discuss our hopes and realistic expectations for when we might see these millions of more PS5s make it into the hands of players, what it may mean for this generation as a whole, and much more. Plus, we dig into PlayStation\u2019s commitment to invest $300 million more into its first-party studios (not referring to PlayStation acquisitions), and what that might mean for the cadence and ambition of PS5 games being released. We discuss whether the cross-gen release plan is dwindling and if PlayStation and third-parties are primarily moving on to the latest console generation, what that means for players, and how we\u2019re already seeing that go into effect with games like Gotham Knights.   Speaking of that upcoming Batman game, we dig into the Gotham Knights gameplay demo that WB Games recently revealed, offered our impressions on the gameplay and WB\u2019s decision to abandon the last-gen PS4 and Xbox One versions in favor of just releasing Gotham Knights on PS5 and Xbox Series. Could we see more companies doing this? Do we expect God of War Ragnarok to be the last cross-gen first-party game? All this and more in our discussion!   Plus, we offer a Trophy Test answer for last week\u2019s question, introduce a new one for next week, offer some gameplay impressions on Apex Legends\u2019 new season, Unpacking, and more, Jada suggests some PSP games she hopes to see on the new PS Plus, and we read a nostalgia-fueled Memory Card story about trips to Blockbuster.   00:00:10 - Intro & Housekeeping 00:03:10 - Trophy Test! 00:08:00 - Will More PS5s Be Available Soon? 00:22:00 - PlayStation Putting More Emphasis on 1st Party Studios 00:36:06 - Gotham Knights Gameplay Impressions 00:47:06 - What We\u2019re Playing 00:58:02 - Our Favorite PSP Games 01:02:29 - Memory Card & Outro ","author_name":"Podcast Beyond - IGN's PlayStation Show","author_url":"https:\/\/beyond.ign.com","html":"
