  • GTA 6: Why PS5 Pro Should Be the Best Way To Play - Next-Gen Console Watch

    GTA 6: Why PS5 Pro Should Be the Best Way To Play - Next-Gen Console Watch
    May 7 2025
    Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch! This week Daemon is joined by Podcast Unlocked's Ryan McCaffrey and IGN's Executive Tech Editor, Bo Moore, to talk GTA 6's influence on the PS5 Pro. Will Sony's latest Pro console get a bump in sales because of GTA 6, considering it'll be the best way to play the game until the inevitable PC release? And we take a look at Microsoft's new pricing strategy for the Xbox Series X and S and all the accessories. The strategy: everything costs more now. And, will PlayStation follow suit and raise prices on their hardware? They've done it in other markets, will the U.S. be next? Plus we have last week's poll results, and a new poll for you to vote on at IGN.com. And don't forget to join us for IGN's second annual IGN Live, a huge in-person event held in Downtown Los Angeles. You can get tickets at IGN.com/Live and use promo code NGCW for a discount.

  • Console Pre-orders Are Still a Disaster - Next-Gen Console Watch

    Console Pre-orders Are Still a Disaster - Next-Gen Console Watch
    May 2 2025
    Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch! The Nintendo Switch 2 officially went up for preorder in the United States last week, and it went about as well as one might expect considering it's the follow-up to one of the best-selling gaming consoles of all time. Websites crasheds, credit card charges were declined, launch day deliveries were missed—it was chaos. Although many prevailed in securing a Switch 2 preorder, it wasn't easy; why hasn't the games industry learned from this? Why aren't retailers like Best Buy and Walmart better prepared for big consumer-focused moments? Should console manufacturers just bypass third-party retailers and sell directly to consumers? Plus we have last week's poll and a new poll for you to vote on at IGN.com. And don't forget to secure your tickets to IGN Live! Our big in-person event is returning to Los Angeles June 7-8, after a major turnout last year. Visit IGN.com/Live for details and tickets.
