Which crashout was worse, Sega or Xbox?

Repost for visibility. Also I'll post a more tame list of modern Genesis games. It will be all text and no code. I promise.

Xbox's was worse. A lot of people like to say Sega, because Xbox is still around. But Xbox has an unnaturally long life cycle due to infinite money propping them up. Also, Sega had way stiffer competition. Without the money to get Xbox off the ground it would have gone nowhere. And the Red Ring fiasco would have killed any company if Xbox didn't have the money to fix every broken Xbox 360 for free. Sega Saturn was a failure but that is almost entirely to Sega panicking at the last minute and surprise launching Saturn in the states. This pissed off every retailer making it so Sega Saturn was only sold at Babbages and Toys R' Us. This last minute panic launch by Sega was caused by the fact that they were up against the PS1, which went on to sell more than both 16 bit systems combined. Then the Dreamcast had to go up against the PS2. Remove Sony from the picture and Sega would still have consoles to this day. Meanwhile, Xbox has been competing against a Sony that has gotten more lackluster since the PS4 days.

Oh and as Leynos has alluded to, there's more fun unique games on a single Sega system than there are on Xbox Series. Seriously, you could have bought a Genesis in 2020 and you would have more new console exclusives on Genesis from 2020 to 2025 than Xbox Series.
