Changes are happening at Sony, but what does that mean for the PS5?

Jeff Kaplan finally opens up on the Blizzard ruling of Blitzchung and China is putting stricter regulations on how much their citizens can game. We close out the news this week with Smash Brother becoming the largest selling fighting game of all time, and with good reason.
