Which crashout was worse, Sega or Xbox?

Definitely Sega. While DC was a solid system, the string of failures and disaster that preceded it were nothing short of catastrophic. Every system was a flop post-Genesis, and they couldn’t figure out for the life of them what to do with Sonic past the original trilogy during this interlude period. It got so bad that Sega had no choice but to bow out, else be met with the same fate as Atari of declaring bankruptcy.

Meanwhile, Xbox simply hasn’t been supported with too strong an exclusive line-up. Revenue is no issue, software output it still strong, third-party support is as good as ever, and hardware figures are currently triple what Dreamcast accomplished LTD…and this is without any price cuts to the Xbox Series consoles.
