I have both a ps5 and a SX.
They get played equally, but haven't touched either in nearly a year.
My switch 2 has gotten more game time than both consoles combined.
but pc is my main baby

I just set up my HDMI 2.1 switcher last night. I may actually use my Xbox more now. Having to switch between my 1 available hdmi 2.1 ports due to the other port being my eARC port.
 
Still have my Series X. I haven't played it much recently as I am mostly gaming on pc (desktop & laptop), but my wife uses it regularly. She switches between the XSX and Switch/Switch 2. Although lately, she has been using her PSP as well. (Just bought a new battery for it.)
 
I got a Series S for $150. Gave it away to my nephew. My brother got mad trying to hook it up cause I had to take the console off my MS account. Which I did in less than 10min. So he bought his own. Never got it back yet. I plan to take it next time I'm there so I can trade it in to GameStop.

I love my Series X and I've owned 3 Series Xs over the course of this gen but 3 at a time? Why?

- one for me (black, 1 TB + 4 TB memory expansion)
- another one for me at my parents' home (galaxy black, 2 TB)
- and a third one for me as well, sitting in the closet (white, bought ahead just in case one of the other two breaks down)
 
Yeah, I bought an X at launch. I used to use it way more than my PS5, actually.

I say "used to", because the damn thing broke about a year and a half ago, and it's not really repairable. (I say this after spending dozens of hours trying to isolate the issue, or even find an example of it online. I even consulted an acquaintance of mine who fucking designed the hardware, and even he doesn't know what's wrong.)

So, yeah, I have a Series X, and I loved it. But it's basically broken, and it costs like $400 to repair. I was hoping those costs would go down over time, but hey, fuck me.
 
I have one. However, it's sitting there gathering dust, and will continue to do so until GTA 6 releases. After moving to PC, its hard to go back to the closed ecosystem.

I actually think the hardware itself and some of the features are neat (play anywhere, quick resume, and the 360 back compat), but its all so wasted by every other Microsoft decision surrounding it being an absolute disaster.
 
I have a series x, I turn it on regularly for quick gamepass games or to update games

(seems like I am in the minority of those who regularly turn it on)

I do, got it (series x) for free courtesy of Verizon in 2023.

I love it for stalker 2, forza 7 and being able to play burnout revenge, splinter cells, Dao, batman origins, mk9, skate, and many other classic games, although I wish they never ended the bc program.

I said I would never own an Xbox as a pc covered it and I already owned every Playstation and got back into Nintendo consoles with switch 1 and 2.
 
Back in early-to-mid 2021, when it was still really difficult to get one in the US, I managed to snag a Series X from Target. I've played it a fair amount, but if I'm being honest, much of that time has been spent playing backwards compatible games and whatever games are noticeably better than on the PS5. There are games that received XB1X patches that boosted the resolution higher than the PS4 Pro versions, so those games are better played on the Series X versus the PS5. Also, it has better VRR support, so that can be a deciding factor as well. That being said, due to my PS5 having a lot more storage and liking the controller better, I do most of my playing on the PS5.

All in all, I think the Series X is a good piece of hardware (it's whisper quiet), and if I didn't have a PS5 with its better storage solution, I would definitely use my Series X a lot.

I have the halo series x and a couple of series s in each kids room. Still have my project Scorpio.

RIP, XBOX. thanks for the good times online with the buddy's ☺️
 
I got a Series X just kinda lying on the floor somewhere, I don't give it electricity so that an enterprising family of roaches might be less tempted to move in.
 
I have an xbox x, but I haven't started it in months.

An idea for another poll, those that have an xbox series console - when did you last game on it.

I still have my launch series s and I still like it a lot. I enjoy the quick resume function and gamepass ultimate for me is great.

Sure, my ps5 and even my laptop can play games with better graphics, but the differences aren't enough to make me stop playing it.


I even started playing Monster Hunter Wilds on it, because I canceled my ps plus and I want to play online with my friends, which are helping me speedrun the story.


I currently mostly play The First Descendant, Overwatch and now Monster Hunter Wilds on it.


Also , thanks to play anywhere, I rather buy games on the xbox store, so I can play them on the series s and on my laptop.
 
I have the X and still playing on every day because it's the only console that caters to my specific niche. Playing Battlefront 2 at 120 fps.
 
I got a used Series S from a friend for $75 bucks. I think it's a great console. Backwards compatibility is nice. Quick resume is one of my favorite things about it.
 
Had a series X but sold it as wasn't using it. I recently picked up a "Broken" Series S for £100 and fixed it up.

It does me fine for Rare Replay / Goldeneye. Literally the only reason I wanted an xbox tbh. Haven't turned it on in a good while though.
 
I won a series x, but I never opened it. In its defense, I also have a nintendo switch 2 that I bought that is still unopened sitting right on top of it. I plan to get either a monitor or a small tv for my desk and just hook up my nintendo switch 2 to it next month.

XSX and it's on every day, even if only for a quick blast of COD MP.

Have loved everything about it (but I'm also sure I'd have loved the PS5 had I went down that route).
 
I'm a 100% PC gamer, but we have a XBX (and a Switch) in the house for my sons to use (when they care enough to play). Game Pass has served us well.

I'm kind of surprised so many people here have a Series console.

Maybe that's because how bad it is has been wildly overstated. We all know about the problems with exclusives, but aside from that it has been a great consoles.

A lot of people of go so overboard with this criticisms of its weaknesses (exclusives, performance on the most demanding games) and ignore that you can still play many games with great performance at a low overall cost.

Nobody says it is a bad console.

Just that it was handled extremely poorly and it doesn't offer anything compelling over a PS5 outside of Game Pass, which is not as compelling as it was a few years ago.

I would say at least that a lot of people talk about it as it is a bad console, as if it's a useless and terrible purchase.

Yeah of course various things were handled very poorly. It's such a shame. We need strong competition in the industry so much.
 
I still keep mine mainly for Game Pass. It's clutch for the day-one drops like Avowed, Starfield, Grounded 1 & 2, High on Life 2, all that. Plus it's perfect for the backlog stuff I never made time to buy that occasionally pops up on Game Pass (like Ubisoft and EA games).

No. People call it a piece of shit with no reason to own it all the time.

Which with much like everything else on here and the rest of the internet is overblown. Yes for some people there isn't many reasons to still own a Xbox console and there isn't really anything wrong with that for some people but it's still a great console with great games and for many who are deep in the ecosystem Xbox is still the best place to be (existing library, game pass, BC, friends, etc).

What many people seem to forget is that people have preferences and said preferences may not aligns with others (I'm not directing any of this at you btw just in general).

I have an Xbox one X and a PS4 Pro. I mainly use the Xbox for 360 and original xbox games. The PS4 doesnt get used much anymore. I mainly play on pc now a days.
 
Series X here. Haven't turned it on since I stopped Game Pass subscription last October (except one time I played UHD bluray over the holidays)
I have handful of digital games on it - and I really do like the hardware design and all.
Same goes to the PS5. I think I turned it on like a year ago, even less than Series X.

These days, it seems like I tinker with the computer hardware more than playing games, and mostly consolidating my gaming library on PC side.
Now playing on Windows for modern games, and Linux for retro games on my CRT, handheld is covered by Switch 2 and SteamDeck.
