Rising Prices Mean We’re Stuck with PS5, Series X - Next-Gen Console Watch
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of rising console prices on the future of gaming and the potential for Sony and Xbox to adapt.
Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch! This week Daemon, Max, and Ryan peer into the future of gaming, only to see the same consoles we're playing today being used possibly years from now. With all models of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox having received several price hikes over the years, and with world events and economic factors keeping the prices of nearly all goods high, it looks like true next-generation gaming maybe delayed for the forseeable future. What can Sony do to bring costs down? And is this an opportunity for Xbox to gain relevance with gamers, now that the base PS5 and Xbox Series X are roughly the same price? Plus we have last week's poll results, and a new poll for you to vote on at IGN.com and Spotify. IGN Spotify YouTube Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
