The largest competitors in the console market are going to launch their next-gen consoles the following month. These include the Xbox Series X and Series S, and the PlayStation 5. Therefore, both Microsoft and Sony are trying to lure customers into buying their consoles. For the same, they are trying to offer many exclusive games, advanced features, and better customer service.
