The RetroBeat: Next-gen console debuts aren’t what they used to be

Yesterday, we got our first look at next generation gameplay via the latest Inside Xbox and its debut of third-party games coming to Xbox Series X. And while we saw some neat stuff, it wasn’t exactly a hype-filled event.

Which is kind of strange, right? I mean, we know that the Series X and the PlayStation 5 will be the most powerful consoles ever built. It should be fun and exciting to see them in action for the first time. But, really, the trailers we saw during Inside Xbox didn’t look all that special. If you had told me that those were all for Xbox One games, I would have believed you.
