It was the same for the Series X/S. Scalpers probably killed the enthusiasm in these consoles for a lot of people.

I think they gave people time to get over the hype and they saw that what they had was good enough. Especially once inflation hit and they had less extra money.

Exactly. It's not like they were gaining much, most games could do 1080p/60fps on the old generation anyway. 4K wasn't enough of a selling point and consoles are mainly used on TVs so there's no point in higher framerate support either. Games looked good enough for couch gaming on the old generation, so as you said, there was no point upgrading.
