PS3 should not be in the list. It sold a lot, and if anything it recovered so well that it basically turned tables and became a popular console even after the lukewarm launch

Xbone I disagree, the sales in first year were acceptably good, on pair with Playstation 4. Things changed in 2015 when Xbox was estagnant selling bellow 10 million while PS4 exploded. The removal of mandatory kinect to lower its price helped sales on 2014, but by 2015 Sony had many first party bangers while Microsoft was unable to provide compelling games


Series SX in other hand was always dead at launch. No purchases mean you have no mandatory attachment to the platform. If you don't own a library there is less appeal in backwards compatability. Subscription model and releasing everything on PCs killed Xbox appeal. The sales of Sales SX were at least saved by lack of PS5 stock, otherwise it would have sold bellow 30 million lifetime
