I think it's important to understand why the xbox fanbase decided to stay in one thread, many felt it was a toxic environment outside of it. Again I don't expect them to match Sony or Nintendo but the level it's at is abysmal, even while accounting for those factors. Underrepresented no matter how you look at it really. I mean, if your console of choice is treated like a joke and you feel like you can't even discuss your platform of choice in peace, wouldn't that make you at least think about sticking to one thread or leaving? I can hang with it, hell I've always posted outside the nation thread but your average poster that isn't heavily invested in the forum isn't going to stick around. How many new big regulars are there recently that have an xbox one? Not many if any There's a lot more Wii U owners and Wii U talk than Xbox One, and no offense but that console isn't exactly Mr popular. The fanbase is just more chatty and is more embraced here. And that's something the Xbox community can do if there's a big enough effort on both ends. |
Not sure if you missed my post just before yours, but I have performed polls to each different userbase for three years in a row (first year was a dud). At present (compared to 2015), there was a notable reduction in XB1 participation but also the WiiU participation has dropped by half.
I'll repeat the polls during E3, when I assume the site will be busier... but I wasn't aware of the bolded, that could explain the low XB1 participation. I'll be sure to link the poll threads to each compilation thread when I redo them this summer.
I don't like compilation threads, things tend to get lost fast and it's hard to follow for someone like myself (who comes to VGC a few times a week). I understand why they are there, for chit chat and small info. Still separate threads is a better way to promote discussions.
BTW here are links of the polls you want to further check:
