I think XB just doesn't get it at all, or just lacks experience in terms of what customers want. As for are they trying? More than you know. Just take a look at these two vids of YouTube premiering the XB1S and the XB1X one year apart. Take a good look at what the XB designer on the left is wearing. His blazer/jacket is fairly similar and is white (on black t) for the One S and black (on black t) for the One X. They are using subliminal messaging to sell their product.
They haven't given up.
