I find the lifespan of the consoles is just getting shorter and shorter. The 360 lasted me around 12 years, good on gaming. And then it was great for another 4 to entertain my younger cousins and Netflix for my grandparents.

My Xbox one lasted me about 6 years, and I will admit it was a great space heater for the really cold nights. But it slowed down the last 2 years and then just blatantly died.

I am now on the series S. i got it November 2021, and while I’m sure I have a few years with it yet, I think I see it going as far as 4 years, from what other people have been saying their lifespan doesn’t really get your moneys worth for the console.

Not only that, but Xbox support went from being reasonable, to slow, to rude, to non existent.

My experience has just gone downhill more than up, my next gaming system is probably not going to be xbox

I mean to be fair the Xbox one was just a bad generation from Microsoft. Same way how PS3 wasn't so hot compared to the 360 in my opinion. The S is a budget console so yeah it clearly isn't meant to be future proof or last. My Series X though I absolutely expect to keep for a long time. My 360 lasted forever, PS4 is still going strong, and this gen hasn't even started until games start coming out that are exclusively next gen.

So far the Xbox is proving to be just as good as the PS5 if not better. Performance, cooling, storage, all that and it's already been a couple years to prove it.

Same, I’ve had my Xbox series x since 2 weeks after launch, and I haven’t noticed any changes since I got it. My Xbox One S hasn’t slowed since I got it 6 years ago, and that was using it heavily and forgetting to dust the vents.
