That is a tired talking point based on no facts. The Xbox Series S is not holding the generation back. How can any well thinking person say this when multiplatform publishers are still making games for PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One? That is the main thing that is holding this generation back. There are also a few other factors, such as:
* Publishers’ lack of will to push creativity.
* Live service obsession from publishers.
* Gamers’ preference for 60 FPS games on console.
* High end chip shortage triggered by the AI boom.
* Venture funds and private equity firms playing a bigger role in gaming compared to previous years.
