Is PlayStation scared of the impending XBox console-PC hybrid? When will this thing be out?

Segment 3: The Business Side - a discussion of industry moves & strategies
Topic - Does Game Pass make sense and has it failed?  - https://x.com/GameLogIQ/status/1976639647489946054
Gamepass Price Hike WTF?  Is gaming getting too expensive?  Console price increases (all around),

The E2KG Network is a collection of gamers, streamers, and podcasters, who have banded together in the hopes that we are stronger together. The network is starting off with three shows: Enough 2 Keep Going, our long-format weekly podcast that features a deep discussion on various topics in gaming, as well as our past week's gaming playlist. Then there's E2KGn30, where we run down the week's biggest (or at least the most personally interesting to us) stories in gaming news, the industry, and the biz, and try to get you in and out in 30 minutes (+ / - ten minutes). Finally there is the Dark Hypotheses, our weekly show discussing the SciFi Network show, Dark Matter. We hope to have more shows soon. So if you stream or post captures of your gameplay, if you want to talk games and get in on either the long show or the news show, or if you're interested in tech or TV/Movies, hit me up on Twitter, because we would love to have you.
