It's partly because OG Xbox had a short generation (launched 20 months after PS2 and ended a year before PS3 launched). Gaming was also much smaller and Xbox was a new brand. Another advantage Series X/S has is a bigger and better overall library when multiplats are accounted for.

Counting only the games this gen, they are way worse and less, then the games even on the OG Xbox were .. I would take that library over the current one of Series any time.

By the way, I made a chart Series vs the US sales of Wii and PS3, so the gap between 35 and 42M. Let's see where the Series will settle.

Someone posted US sales table sometime ago, but I don't remember if it was only about the PS2 sales or there were other consoles such as GBA as well. Do someone remembers that one so that I am able to take the GBA data from there and put it here ? GBA US sales should be around 37-38M.

I mean yeah, if you don't count crossgen games, then this generation (PC and Playstation included) is an embarrassment. But even B-tier games are bigger these days than even PS2's best sellers, and gamers are accepting that crazy generational jumps are no longer a thing.

Series X/S actually has an excellent game library (all four platforms do), but most people choose to play those games on Playstation, PC, and sometimes Switch.

This graph is kinda funny not gonna lie. Xbox's complete lack of exclusives, and Microsoft's struggle to keep up with Sony's software quality/reputation really fucked the brand. Remember when everyone thought this generation's hardware split was going to be much closer and ignoring how lucky Microsoft got with the shortages? "ItS kEePinG uP wiTh PS5 in EuRope OMG!" Ahahahahaha.
