AI Is Already Ruining the PS6 - Next-Gen Console Watch

from Next-Gen Console Watch · host IGN & Geek Media

Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch. This week we take a look at how the recent RAM shortage will affect the next generation of console games. With AI data centers demanding more and more RAM, manufacturers have pivoted to providing this growing industry with pretty much whatever it needs, thus forcing the cost of consumer RAM through the roof. What does this mean for the PlayStation 6 and next Xbox? Or for Valve's Steam Machine? Plus we look at last week's poll results, and we have a new poll for you to vote on at IGN.com.
