Regular retailers struggle to keep graphics cards at reasonable prices. Most stores charge far above the manufacturer prices. The military exchange maintains lower costs...

The device can output 4K video when connected to televisions. Players need to buy extra storage because the built-in memory remains limited. The launch game selection currently lacks major new releases...
Final Fantasy XVI runs worse on Xbox Series X than PlayStation 5. Digital Foundry tested both versions and found major problems. The Xbox version shows blurry graphics at 1224p compared to 1440p on PlayStation. Most games perform the same or better on Xbox but this game breaks that pattern.
