I know that because of the pandemic sales have skewed extremely online; but something I have noticed as of now is that both next generation consoles have very little retail space and attention.
However, the PS5 does have at least a decent amount of presence. You can't buy the console itself in person; but games and accessories get a decent amount of floor space and attention.
Meanwhile, the Xbox Series has absolutely 0 attention whatsoever. I think the games are actually out; but there is almost no indication that the games in question are Xbox Series games and not just Xbox One games with an Xbox Series compatible mode or something like that.
One of my predictions about the Xbox Series is that it was a prime candidate for "Wii U syndrome"; where people think it is some sort of variant of the Xbox One and not a next gen system. It is incredibly early but I think I could be correct on this one. If even people who are well tuned into gaming have a hard time finding Xbox Series games, controllers and what not, how on Earth is a parent whose kid wants an Xbox Series and a couple games supposed to find them?
