According to Statista data, in the US, Xbox One currently gathers more active players than Xbox Series X and Series S. The old console accounts for 23% of active users, while the entire Xbox Series family occupies 21%.
The comparison with competitors looks even more telling. The leader of the American market remains PS5 with 46%, and PS4 retains 27% of active players. Thus, Sony's old console attracts more users than Microsoft's entire current generation.
The weak player adoption of the new generation is also reflected in the company's financial results. In the last fiscal year, Microsoft recorded a significant drop in revenue from console sales. Rising component costs and inflation also do not help convince players to switch to new platforms.
