PS5 Dethrones The Switch, And Two Beloved PlayStation Franchises Might Be Returning! - The Home of Play Podcast ep.86

The Home of Play: A PlayStation Podcast

Happy Monday Everyone!

Sorry for the late upload, but it will be worth the wait!

This week we discuss the many news drops on the PS5's performance so far this year, and it looks like the new soy console has finally taking the lead for console sales last month. Impressive considering the stock shortages for the PS5 that are still plaguing consumers this year. Activision takes another step towards ending any nostalgia I had left from my childhood. Resident Evil Village reaches a sales milestone faster than almost all other games in the series. Call of Duty Vanguard will have a smaller files size, but its still not good enough in our opinion. And lastly we hear rumors that Sony might be reviving two cold franchises. We have our selves a packed episode this week, so lets just get into it!
