The Future for Games Consoles

Tech Life

Available for over a year

Xbox launches the most powerful games console ever at the E3 expo in Los Angeles, but where's the VR? We ask Keza MacDonald, editor at Kotaku UK, why games consoles still pull in the punters. Plus we hear from the voice of Mario - Nintendo's famous plumber. Also on the programme, after another bad week for Uber and its founder Travis Kalanick, what does the future hold for one of silicon valley's biggest names? Author and journalist Adam Lashinsky discusses. Rory Cellan Jones meets a real-life rocket man who has invented his own jet pack, and Jane Wakefield gets a cup of coffee from a robot in California.
