A video game console war is on the horizon (again). With the holidays coming up, the gaming industry is focused on the release of several new consoles, continuing “the decades-long console war.” Microsoft is launching a new Xbox in November, while Sony will be introducing a new iteration of the PlayStation, and both are “big draws” for young gamers who want to play the latest versions of their favorite games during lockdown. However, though this is set to be one of the biggest launches, there could be shortages due to COVID. Rival companies like Google and Amazon are also seeing this time as an opportunity to “break into the growing market” and experiment with “cloud gaming,” which allows players to download games on the Internet.
