Did you guys do the math?

If it can maintain just 5 million sales a year, that would get it to 50 million. Which is millions lower than its average.

Do ypu do the math? Whn are you expecting the next gen to start. Cuz we think 2020 at the most and thas only 3 years, so at 5m per year that would leave the x1 at 45m.

Okay, let me do some math for you. I shouldn't have to elaborate, but I will.

I'm low balling at 5 million, X1 has sold an average of about 8.5 million a year. If it could maintain that that, then it would be at 50 million in about 2 years. That's assuming its at about 35 million after this holiday. But if there is sales decline, maybe 3 years.

There MIGHT be a PS5 in 2020, but its very possible MS will wait a year longer to release a new console. The X1X is a powerful device so there isn't a much need to rush a new platform on the market. People expect PS5 to be mega powerful, but I'm thinking its gonna be pretty modest if they aim for $399 again.

So at the rate things are going... 50 million for X1 isn't a crazy prediction at all.
