Here is why XBox One is not included:(a) It has its own leaderboards, which are not accessible from the webpage. I have no way to get the data even if I wanted to. (Even if I owned an XBox One and its edition of TPA, I would not copy its leaderboards by hand.)(b) Even if the webpage had a separate presentation of XBox One scores that allowed download, I would probably not just merge those with the other platforms. Trigger warning: sensitive issue approaching . I do own an Xbox 360 with TPA and played that for a year or so before the PC edition. Tables were much easier on XBox 360 than PC. I'm too lazy to find my XBox 360 high scores right now or boot up that infernal machine, but I think they were two to ten times my PC high scores on most tables, with BK, Firepower, and Gorgar being near the 10x multiplier. So I am nervous that the Xbox One game is not comparable with the PC and other editions. (I think that some people have claimed that the phone/handheld versions are much harder than PC/PS4, but I don't know of any data to support this, and the tiny bit of data with platform that I know of, which is the last shutyertrap tournament, does not support it, in some sense. I have not tried to label the top 100 players by platform by using what they say their platform is in this forum because I'm worried about data fuzziness but also am too lazy to do that right now, although I may do it later/soon.)I hope that explains my current position on XBox One, which definitely has potential of changing based on data access and/or good logical arguments .[ Ad: I've signed up for the BlahCade March Tournament of the Month, have you?
