    2020 was the release of ps5 and “xbox series x” (and also the cheaper “xbox series s” model that has since proven incapable of playing certain xbox titles, holding the whole xbox platform back; see baldur’s gate)

    no new consoles have been released since and it will be at least 3+ years before a new generation of consoles arrives (meaning one that has games the previous model can’t play)

      Here’s what I’m talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox#Comparison

      The XBox One came out in 2013, but then starting in 2016, they started releasing a series of other XBoxes with incremental upgrades. The “One S” and “One X” within a year of each other, then the “Series S” and “Series X” in 2020. It looks like the CPU and GPU get upgraded along the way, but none of them is nearly as powerful as the PC I’ve had through that time period, nor as capable considering I can do more than play games on it.
