THE FUSE

We live in a post-platform world. Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo are no longer treating each other like they’re adversaries of the “he who must not be named” variety in their marketing material. Though console warriors are still fighting that battle in comments sections like soldiers who don’t know the war has ended, Halo is coming to PlayStation, so the war is over. Not only does that mean we get games on more platforms than we once did, but we also get some brainbreaking moments, like today when Pokémon developer Game Freak was featured in an Xbox showcase, and we got a rare look into the studio that made Pikachu.
