Join John and Ryan on the Game Deflators podcast as they dive into the latest gaming news and trends. In this episode, they discuss the end of the console wars as Microsoft and Sony reduce the number of exclusive titles on their consoles. They explore how this shift is changing the gaming landscape and what it means for gamers. Will consoles in general begin to see less sales, or will tariffs affecting PC pricing stifle growth?

They also analyze new data showing Microsoft as the number one video game publisher, thanks to their multiplatform strategy and the success stemming from its recent acquisitions. Plus, they review Goblin Commander: Unleash the Horde on PS2, discussing its unique approach to real-time strategy games and how it stands out in the console market.
