As can be deduced, the user seems to have an Xbox but is saving some buck for the newer PlayStation. Xbox commented, “Aw yiss, hope you can get your hands on one soon~,” hinting at the supply shortages that Sony is currently facing due to the global chip shortage and the pandemic.
But this does not mean that Xbox is immune to this problem. It too is actually facing the very same problem and has had issues in meeting the demand generated by the public. While the current Series X is one of the most well-designed and powerful consoles out there, it lags behind Sony’s PlayStation 5 in terms of sales.
Players are loving the new controller of the PlayStation 5 and the sheer amount of exclusives the platform has to offer. However, Sony too has faced some backlash from the community. The backlash comes in regard to next-generation game-related upgrades. Just recently, the company was in hot water concerning its upcoming title Horizon: Forbidden West. The company didn’t offer a free next-generation upgrade to PS4 owners, which drove them mad.
