Ouch. Xbox One doesn't even have one vote. I think that's for a few reasons -The underpowered Xbox One. Yeah, it was a generational leap over the Xbox 360. But the 360 was way more comparable to Gaming PCs in 2005 than the One was to Gaming PCs in 2013 (same dynamic with PS3 in 2006 and PS4 in 2013). Xbox One X fixed this, but it's not the base console and was sold as a premium offering. -Xbox Series X/S are very similar to Xbox One but with SSDs, better specs (namely Xbox One vs. Series X) and a larger game library. It's only some Kinect 2.0 Xbox One games that aren't compatible with Xbox Series. |
Yeah not a single vote for the Xbone is quite telling. I'd be interested in hearing from the two folks for voted for the Xbox Series though. |
I'd wager
1. It's the only Xbox console they own, or they only ever had an Xbox One and not the older two and most beloved Xbox consoles.
2. Even if they've had several or all Xbox consoles, they like the general power, SSDs, four generations (but more like 2.5 because you've got about two full generations plus a little Xbox plus around a third or more of the 360 generation) of games supported.
Unless you like using Kinect 2.0, Xbox One is pretty worthless besides being cheaper compared to a Series X.
Series X (and a little bit of Series S despite its lack of a disc drive and lower specs) are pretty much a Swiss Army Knife for the Xbox ecosystem, but not really a unique platform. Nothing is exclusive to Series X/S, not even indie titles. Even Xbox One still has about a dozen exclusives (the non-Kinect ones you can play on Series) and there were over a dozen more that were launched without confirmation that a PC version was coming.

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 48 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million)
PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)
3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
