This seems like it assumes the Xbox's target audience are kids, which doesn't automatically follow. It's like thinking rock music is greasy kids' stuff: Update your mental model. The MTV generation has grandkids now.

In short, Ford doesn't release the Ford 5 because it knows the Ford 4 is old news. (Also, get a horse, ya durn kids.)

Anyway, research:

https://www.windowscentral.com/heres-some-interesting-stats-...

> Most Xbox One gamers reside in the 25- to 34-year-old bracket, followed closely by the 35- to 44-year-old bracket.

> 56 percent of Xbox One owners live with a married spouse or partner, 10 percent live alone, and 23 percent live with their parents.

> Many Xbox One owners have an annual income of around $75,000.

I'd say I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac, but both of those references are outdated these days.

Sure they do, Ford released the 2022 Fords the year after the 2021s.

Is the Ford Focus newer than the Ford Escort?

These statistics just prove the parent comments point.

No, they don't. They prove the exact opposite.

Isn't the parent the "owner" even if they never use it and it's for the kid?

Do you have evidence that's what's happening?

Yes. Every household ever.
