This week on the Rocket Punch Cast, the crew ponder a thought: Is Microsoft and the power of X(box) is gonna give it to us in the next generation of consoles? Cameron and Will discuss the latest moves from Microsoft, including the announcement of the xCloud platform and rumors that they are purchasing Obsidian Entertainment, as well as their current service offering like Game Pass and backwards compatibility, and talk about whether they will have what it takes to rise to the top of the console heap when next-gen rolls around. Plus, PlayStation ID Name changes are real, Stardew Valley is coming to mobile, Will gives his thoughts on experiencing the "power of X" with his new Xbox One X console, and more!
