The **Xbox Series X** is a home video game console developed by Microsoft as part of the video game market's ninth generation. First released on November 20, 2020, the Xbox Series X was released as a successor to the Xbox One. Its primary competition are the PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch. An alternative, digital-only model, the Xbox Series S, is also available.

The Xbox Series X's launch was riddled by high demand, as well as a shortage of chips utilized to make the console and a large number of aftermarket scalpers. Similar issues plagued the launch of its direct competitor, the PlayStation 5, which itself launched within a week of the Xbox Series X.

## Games

*Main article: List of Xbox Series X/S games*

The Xbox Series X is capable of playing disc-based media, while its counterpart, the Xbox Series S, is not. It is also backwards compatible with most Xbox One titles, as well as several Xbox and Xbox 360 titles. Games released for both the Xbox One and Xbox Series X following the latter's launch have only a single physical copy released, with the disc allowing owners with access to both versions of the game so long as they have the respective console. These physical copies are simply marked as "Xbox" games.

Major titles released for the console include *Halo Infinite*, *Elden Ring*, *Forza Horizon 5*, *Psychonauts 2*, *Grounded*, and *Assassin's Creed Valhalla*.

### Successor

Nintendo 3DS

The **Nintendo DS**, colloquially known as simply the **DS** (and known as the **iQue DS** in China), is a handheld video game console developed by Nintendo as part of the video game market's seventh generation (though it was released partway through the sixth). First released on November 21, 2004, the Nintendo DS was released as a successor to the Game Boy Advance. Its primary competition was the PlayStation Portable. In 2011, the Nintendo DS's successor, the Nintendo 3DS, was released. The Nintendo DS was named as such due to its dual screens, which are abbreviated as "DS."

The Nintendo DS was wildly popular, seeing immense success throughout most of its lifespan, and outperforming its direct competitor, the PlayStation Portable, by a large margin. This success has resulted in the Nintendo DS becoming the best-selling handheld console of all time, the best-selling Nintendo console of all time, as well as the second-best selling console of all time.

Alternative models, the Nintendo DS Lite, Nintendo DSi, and the Nintendo DSi XL were released. Both the original DS and the DS Lite are backwards compatible with Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games. However, the DSi and DSi XL are not, having removed the Game Boy Advance slot on the console. However, the DSi and DSi XL have access to unique features such as a digital storefront (the Nintendo DSi Shop), built-in cameras, and improved storage. The DSi Shop's functionality ended in 2017.

### Genre

Role-playing

***Xenogears*** is a role-playing video game developed by Square Product Development Division 3 and published by SquareSoft for the PlayStation, first released in Japan on February 11, 1998. Originally a potential draft for *Final Fantasy VII*, the game's plot and setting were eventually developed into a separate title. The title received critical acclaim, but received backlash for the more cutscene-driven second disc. While *Xenogears* never received a direct sequel, it received spiritual successors created by the Tetsuya Takahasi-founded studio Monolith Soft, in the form of the *Xenosaga* and *Xenoblade Chronicles* series. The latter series would be the studio's most successful, and is currently a Nintendo-owned IP following Nintendo's acquisition of Monolith Soft.

***Resident Evil 4*** (***Biohazard 4*** in Japan) is a survival horror and third-person shooter game developed by Capcom Production Studio 4 and published by Capcom, Nintendo, Nintendo Australia, Oculus Studios, and Ubisoft, first released for the Nintendo GameCube on January 11, 2005. It has received multiple other releases, including a first-person shooter VR port for the Oculus Quest 2.

*Resident Evil 4* is a sequel to 1999's *Resident Evil 3: Nemesis* and the fifth major title in the *Resident Evil* franchise following 2000's *Resident Evil – Code: Veronica*. It introduced a new, over-the-shoulder style of gameplay, and is more action-oriented, albeit still retaining aspects of the series' survival horror roots. It is considered by many to be the greatest game in the franchise. A sequel, *Resident Evil 5*, was released in 2009, while a remake of the same name will be released in 2023.
