Maybe no one has the money for a new console every other year?

It was the same for the Series X/S. Scalpers probably killed the enthusiasm in these consoles for a lot of people.

I think they gave people time to get over the hype and they saw that what they had was good enough. Especially once inflation hit and they had less extra money.

The PS4 and Xbox One came out a decade ago. The PS5 and Xbox Series X came out 4 years ago. What are you talking about?

Exaggeration obviously. Just noting it might be hard to keep up with cutting edge tech given the economy in recent years.

I think it has more to do with the 117 million units the ps4 has sold, making the console more accessible
