In this episode of The Show Radio, Andrew talks about the recent Titanfall 6 vs. 6 drama, his Xbox One impressions (now that he owns one) and Andrew House's Playstation talk during the Consumer Electronics Show 2014. Are the consumers being overly dramatic about the 6 vs. 6 count for Titanfall? Is the Xbox One all that it's cracked up to be? Is Playstation hitting all of the right cylinders? Tune in and thanks for listening.
