Hardly anyone plays multiplayer on Xbox One?

Happy Waitangi Day.

... It's a public holiday in NZ today.

I have noticed ever since getting Xbox One November 2013, that hardly any peeps play on Xbox One. I get on weekends and evenings and have noticed this a lot. Sure there is a 12-24 hour time difference between NZ and countries on the other side of the world,
like the US and UK (Australia is only 2 hours behind NZ e.g. Sydney and Melbourne). So it's usually the weekend or holidays I'm able to catch up with my US and UK friends.

But even then, there's hardly anyone playing multiplayer anymore on Xbox One. Granted Xbox One has what a mere 20 million who play on it and only some of them play multiplayer games. And then I play Minecraft and it's mostly older
adults playing on it or even worse, split screeners who lag the servers! I have Vodafone NZ 100mb/s download and 10mb/s internet and live in a well serviced major city of NZ.

When I joined Xbox late 2010, Xbox 360 is a hit! The only 7th gen console that had PARTY CHAT (PS3 only has cheap Game Chat), and I met lots of people and kids on Xbox 360. And HEAPS, I mean.... HEAPS, of people were playing multiplayer on that platform.
I found it easy as pie maintaining a full friends list for 3 years on Xbox 360.

Granted people have school or work or other activities. Or there's PC which has over 4x the amount of users than PS4. Or we've become a society where people watch YouTube and Netflix a lot more. Half of my friends list have an Xbox One but out of that half,
only like a 3rd of them play multiplayer on Xbox One. I've tried playing the newer Minecraft version Microsoft is promoting on Xbox One, I think it's the version where you can play Minecraft multiplatform, and there's heaps of people playing there, but it
can get glitch the multiplayer.

I don’t play multiplayer often, but when I do I never have a problem finding games.

What games are you playing?

"Dark Sector"... multiplayer was hard because hardly anyone played online.

Yo Kandy Man

If you playing alone than play TDM. if you get into conquest or rush than your *** yourself cause of shotty teammates and people that hardly use a mic.. which surprises me about this game. hardly anyone uses a mic and this Franchise is built off of the
Multiplayer alone... if you have a mic use it!

According to ELITE, you've played multiplayer for a whopping one hour. That's hardly enough time to judge a game.

I really love Far Cry 5 and the multiplayer is just dead already. It's only a year old and no one plays online hardly.
