    I mean yes but in the end both game companies are owned BY Microsoft soo guess they are still to blame

    I bought the original Xbox about 20 years ago
    it broke
    I bought the 360, and got the red ring of death
    I bought the Xbox One S with a disk drive and the drive stopped reading disks after about a year. Thought I could maybe just swap in a new drive but Microsoft doesn't allow that as the drive is somehow coded to the particular machine, so you can't just install a new drive. 
     
    I've stopped buying Xbox products.

    Pritty much.
     
    OLEDs pixel degradation is cumulative, so its more a case of reducing the amount of total time the same image is displayed over and over again.
    Like for example a game UI, or a fully expanded Browser window, or Icons on ur desktop and the windows taskbar and desktop background image.
     
    You can work around this with some simple changes.
    Hide taskbar, screensaver, animated or changing desktop background, hiding icons or adding transparency. ('Wallpaper Engine' does most of this) and for browser windows, just dont open them up in fullscreen , manually expand them and shift them around each time u open it.
     
    For games u just try to limit static UI's, especially high contrast ones, hide them, change their size often, and ideally just don't play the same game for 6+ hours a day every day for years (like streamers do). So long as ur games are varied pixel degradation should be relatively uniform so ull avoid 'screen burn'.
     
    I still use a Plasma so i do all this myself, and its become second nature, its my habitual use now , i dont notice im doing it most of the time.
     
    OLED 'burn-in' isnt like 'real' burn in from the CRT and Plasma days, u can play fortnight, for example, for 24 hours straight, so long as u leave the OLED to go through its pixel refresh cycle, u wont find any burn in the next day. But if u keep doing that every day, it will degrade over time fro the cumulative degradation rather than immediate permanent damage.

    Bluntly..... Yes.
     
    The closest u can get at present is LG CX 48" OLED, which runs 120hz 4k, VRR, BFI, and HDR.
    For many though its still too big at 48" and most are unwilling to make the small habitual changes necessary to look after a OLED.
