Xbox Players are Half as Good as Their PlayStation and PC Counterparts

They've bought an Xbox. Their mental capacity isn't all there so it's no wonder they can't play as well.
Microsoft should release a drool resistant Xbox pad, that would sell gang busters.

Not surprised one bit, online warriors will have you fooled for a minute but it’s been clear for awhile that Xbox’s shrinking userbase is composed mainly by casuals in North America. It’s why the brand is so weak, software sales so soft, and average completion much lower.

It’s mainly a multi player focused userbase sure, but those multiplayer userbases are much larger on other platforms as well.

If Sony had bigger balls they should have never allowing cross-play with xbox. Let them enjoy half empty lobbies

This is purely anecdotal but I have a friend who owns a Series X and in the beginning he'd keep bragging about using Quick Resume to switch games very fast, and how he'd play like 3 different games within the span of one hour. Couple that with Gamepass and he'd play like 15 different games every week.

The end result was he'd never finish any game, ever. And after several months playing each game for 5 minutes at a time he'd just forget all about the story and gameplay, eventually abandoning them.


I wonder if this is a consistent behavior within Series X/S owners. I think Quick Resume is a neat feature, but it might be a case where the QoL improvement actually harms the person's ability to actually enjoy the games.

I think it's a coping mechanism for having mediocre games that they aren't really interested in.

Makes sense.
It's the same thing with Movie streaming services. You have so much at your fingertips, but you eventually hit a point of "there's nothing to watch".
I imagine it's the same way with folks who constantly pirate games. I doubt they ever complete any/majority of them.
