New consoles are arriving all the time. Now, as the next generation begins, we're looking back at some of the most successful (and disastrous) console launches!

Over the years, accessibility has made slow progress on consoles. However, @Xbox has pushed the accelerator in recent years #disability #disabilityinclusion #RepresentationMatters

It's excellent to see that their initiative shines in helping disabled gamers enjoy next-gen, day 1

My favorite new feature I've seen for the new generation of consoles is on the new Xbox whatever it's called.

It has an option to zoom in and read text. That's so unbelievably nice because so many things end up super tiny and hard to read as an old man.
