And before that, rumours were circulating about a new PlayStation. Those consoles have yet to be announced, but they are expected eventually, of course, considering it's been more than four years since the launch of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in November 2013. Gamers are eagerly awaiting new consoles, and retailers are too. We spoke with GameStop merchandising boss Eric Bright at E3 2018 and he told us that hardware transition years are huge for GameStop, and he expects the next shift to be no different. > "When is always the big question," Bright said about when the new consoles might launch. "Phil Spencer announced they are working on a new Xbox, which I think everybody expects. When, I don't know. I honestly don't. But like every hardware transition that occurs--and GameStop has gone through many of them in the past--it's a tremendous time for us."
