Does "had gone into" here mean discussing in detail?

"I had gone into this whole console season planning to skip both next-gen consoles during the initial rush, since there’s not much in the way of exclusive games and I wasn’t willing to stay up until 3AM to try my hand refreshing Best Buy in hopes of snagging a day-one console."

What does he mean by "I had gone into this whole console season planning to skip both next-gen consoles during the initial rush" ?

He had no intention of buying either a PS5 or an X Box Series X on release because there are not going to be many good games to play for a while. He decided it was best to wait at least a few months, for some more good games to come out.

No, "had gone into" here means "had entered". The writer is expressing what their intention was at the start of the season of new console releases.

I cant understand, i think the noun phrase, “whole console season planning”.

I think you're breaking it up wrong.

I had gone into this whole console season planning to skip both next-gen consoles ...

Does that help? If not, it might help if I use a simpler example, like the following (I've used the same colours so you can see how the parts match up):

I went into the kitchen planning to make a cup of tea but then I remembered we had run out of teabags. (When I entered the kitchen, my plan was to make tea, but I then remembered we had no teabags so my plan was ruined!)
