Summary
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.

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
