Today's episode is the first in a multi-part series on the video game console market. Our guest is Sia Kamalie, the founder and fund manager at Skycatcher. Skycatcher describes itself as focused on capturing asymmetry at the internet frontier, and Sia has very strong conviction that the video game console market is entering a major paradigm shift with an app store model set to hit its inflection point.

We start with an overview of the video game console market, laying out its size and current state. In episodes two and three, we explore this theme in even more depth when we cover the names most exposed to it: Sony and Nintendo.

On these episodes, we always recommend doing your own research. We invited Sia on to lay out his thesis, so this one is particularly geared towards that investment opportunity. Please enjoy this Breakdown of the video console market.
