  • Switch 2 Could Be the Last Console with Physical Media - Next-Gen Console Watch
    Feb 7 2025
    Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch. This week Daemon and Ryan are joined by IGN's publisher and gaming industry veteran John Davison to talk about the future of physical media. With gamers overwhelmingly preferring digital copies, and with cloud streaming technology making console-quality gaming accesible from nearly every device with an internet connection, will the PlayStation 6 or next Xbox feature a disc drive? And what does that mean for Nintendo, whose first-party games sell very well in physical form? Plus we have last week's poll results, and a new poll for you to vote on at IGN.com.

  • Could AI Make PS6/Xbox Cheaper? - Next-Gen Console Watch
    Jan 31 2025
    Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch. This week the usual crew of Daemon, Ryan, and Max are joined by Bo Moore, IGN's executive tech editor. With the Nvidia RTX 50-series cards now available (allegedly, since they're sold out now), we dive into the world of artificial intelligence to see if it's possible these new advancements will mean cheaper gaming hardware in the future. And the gang discusses how AI frame generation actually affects how games feel. Plus we have last week's poll results and a new poll for you to vote on at IGN.com.

  • Will GTA 6 Be Worth $100? - Next-Gen Console Watch
    Jan 24 2025
    Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch! This week Daemon is joined by Ryan McCaffrey of Podcast Unlocked, and Jada Griffin from Nintendo Voice Chat. The topic: could, and will, Grand Theft Auto 6 be priced at $80 or more? Is a $100 base price for that game reasonable considering inflation rates and the rising cost of game development? Should hours a player will spend in the game determine how much they pay for it? And will the whole industry follow suit? Plus we have a new poll for you to vote on at IGN.com.
