Do not underestimate the power of playstay playstay.

Beyond and Hello everyone, my name is Jonathan Dormisch.

I am your host for this episode of 573 of IGM Beyond our weekly playstation show.

If you're joining us for the first time, thanks to the New Year.

Happy New Year and welcome. We talk about playstation for like 50% of the time.

This week I am joined by Lucio Bryan and Bryan Altono.

Beyond Happy New Year.

Yes, Happy New Year to you guys as well.

For reference, if you are a fan of the show,

Max Scoville is off in Las Vegas land, covering CES for us,

and Andrew Goldfarb is riding his fan script for Persona 6.

That's true, both of those scenes are very true.

Hopefully we can have them on next week.

This week we're actually going to be talking quite a bit about the PS5 of it all.

The big question, I think one of the big questions hardware related with playstation going into 2019

and beyond what really they're going to be focusing on with PS5 as hardware.

Do they need it?

We just got some sales numbers about how they did over the holidays and they didn't do too badly.

So do they need the PS5 too?

We're going to take a look ahead into the month of January for big game releases this month

as well as do a bit of a trophy test at the end of the show.

This week's trophy test is Spyro and Crash.
