Last night, Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai announced on Twitter he finally purchased an Xbox Series X, one year after the console’s launch.
On the social network, Sakurai shared a photo of his brand-new Xbox Series X next to his cat Fukura. He already owns a PlayStation 5 and a Nintendo Switch.
According to Google Translate, Sakurai says: “One year after its release, I finally bought it …! It (Xbox Series X) may be affected by the coronavirus, but it will continue to be difficult to obtain game consoles.”
