It’s like all we heard about the PS5 was that it was super hard to get when it came out and then it kind of disappeared from our collective consciousness
XBox has always been a weird console. It never really competes with Nintendo because NIntendo always does its own general thing and also slides neatly into the kids and family market. So it competes with Playstation by default. Except Playstation actually has contracts with good studios to make exclusive games. What’s a non-Halo exclusive for the XBox? Back in the day, you’d play games like Gears of War, Halo (obviously), Fallout 3, Psychonauts, KOTOR, COD, etc. I can’t think of a single meaningful game on the most recent generation for the XBox.
I’ve seen them stocked in my local stores for the past year. The Xbox series X/S as well. I kinda thought it was like that everywhere now? Are they really still sold out and being scalped for crazy mark up prices where you live?

And it’s still out selling the Xbox…

Fuck exclusives.
One of my favorites was Project Gotham, but they shuttered that studio in favor of Forza which just isn’t as good.
Yeah that and it’s still super expensive and does not have system sellers for me. Eg. Uncharted.
Also I don’t need another PC, thank you.
It is still super hard to get

You are right, I haven’t checked for a while, I thought it was still unavailable. I ordered one yesterday.
It did? Who’s collective consciousness are you attached to? It’s a huge fucking hit.
Well, the numbers show otherwise.
