Episode DF Direct Q+A: Too Expensive? No Exclusives? Is Next-Gen Just For Enthusiasts?
The hardware situation grows more bleak by the week, so where does this leave next generation consoles? If they're too expensive, will developers target them over current-gen hardware?

All this and more is discussed in the latest show.
