| trunkswd said: Microsoft has shot down the rumors stating retailer are committed in selling Xbox consoles, accessories, and games. Microsoft statement: "Target and Walmart, among other retailers, remain committed partners for Xbox consoles, accessories, and games." Xbox Series X stock has had issues lately with it being unavailable at times then all of a sudden a restock, while Xbox Series S stock has been more readily available. Though I wouldn't be surprised if retailers shrink the size of the Xbox section. The majority of Xbox consoles sold this generation are digital only, so I doubt many physical games are getting sold for Xbox at this point. |
Unlike Sony and Nintendo, a large amount of 1st party Xbox games aren't even complete on the disc. Doom 3 and Indiana Jones were both glorified coasters that needed an internet connection to download 99.9% of the game. Doesitplay.org has documented this extensively. People will claim that PS5 games need to download too but that's because Sony's UI lies by calling disc installs downloads. Roughly 90% of Switch and 69% of PS5 games will play just fine off the disc with no major bugs or issues. Xbox on the other hand overwhelmingly needs an internet connection. Games labeled as XB1/Series only have the XB1 version on the disc. The Series version requires a significant update to be downloaded.
