Well done. You've sorted through the embarrassment of riches that is the modern podcast landscape and found me Rob Briden on my podcast.

In this series of Briden and I talk to among others Harry Hill, Ben Elton, Charlotte Church, Steve Cougan and Dame Harriet Walter.

And that's just a few. We tend to chat for about 45 minutes to an hour never longer. It's terrific conversation, reminiscent, sweat appropriate and exchange of anecdotes.

So do join me Rob Briden wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes of Briden and are available early and ad-free on Amazon Music or by subscribing to Wondry Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondry app.

I have a parenting story that will have you laughing and thinking, yes, I have absolutely been there. Listen to, I love my kid but on Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts.

From Wondry, I'm David Brown and this is Business Wars.

This Xbox versus PlayStation series came about because listeners felt that our original series Nintendo versus Sony stopped short of some fascinating developments.

And hey, go back and listen if you haven't already. Nintendo versus Sony is one of our most loved series. And of course, now that we've wrapped up our Xbox versus PlayStation series, there's been more exciting news for gamers.

Last week, Microsoft released details about its upcoming video game streaming service, Project X Cloud.

So today we'll be learning more about that and turning our focus to what may come next for each gaming giant.

When expert guests you've heard from before. And just a note, this Thursday we'll be diving into the beginning of the end of the record industry's Golden Age.

Starring a streaming service, you probably haven't thought about in more than a decade, but it certainly changed your life in more ways than you might think, Napster.

Next up, our series on Napster versus the labels. This war is going to take a full six episodes, so pop in your headphones and stay tuned.

And if there's a business war you think we're missing, let us know in the I Have an idea page at Wondry.com.

Now let's return to the battle at hand, shall we? Tristan Donovan is an author, journalist, and returning business war writer.

He's the man behind our past Nintendo versus Sony series and picked up right where he left off in May to bring you this installment of Xbox versus PlayStation.

And if you're thirst for gaming knowledge isn't quite quenched yet. Check out his book Replay, The History of Video Games.

It starts with the late 1940s. Yes, you heard me right. And it takes you all the way up to the early 2000s.

And he has a second edition in the works right now. He's also written a book on the history of soda. Sound familiar?

You may remember Tristan joined us not too long ago as we wrapped up Coke versus Pepsi.

Now we've got him on Skype in the UK to tell us what might be ahead for the video game industry. Tristan Donovan, welcome back to Business Wars.
