Bit of a quiet week this week with nothing to really note from the PlayStation or Nintendo side of the fence. I’m sure all the relevant teams are working behind the scenes to gear up for their appropriate showcases around the mid-year point. With none of the big players attending this year’s E3 showing, it remains to be seen when the showcases will be. There are some trickles of news for Xbox and some other key points of information this week, see you on the next one!
