    They can see the writing on the wall and know their largest market won’t have the spending power it has now, so make hay while the sun shines.

      Nah, this is about where the last two console cycles would release new hardware. It’s the confluence of a lot of things at work here.

        It just feels really early since covid fucked us out of a proper world for a while. Massive supply issues meant devs were forced to cater for the previous generation too. They’ve only really just got started pushing what this gen is capable of.

        I got the Series S (the weaker xbox) and already it cant handle the new games. I mean it can, but the framerate suffers and it makes me nauseous when I turn the camera. Makes some beautiful screenshots, just cant actually play them.
