I like my Switch, i think its a great system. However the X1 is still selling. We dont know the exact figures as MS isn't telling anybody. Saying the X1 is getting destroyed on sales is again speculation and not actual figures. Nothing is official.

As for Halo, the franchise mainline games can sell up to 10m units. How is Halo on the decline? because of one entry? Halo 4 sits on over 9m copies and possibly 10m  by now which outsold Halo 1 and 2. That isnt a decline. They had one of the best selling Halo games recently. Sure 5 went downhill mainly due to the direction and decisions which wont be happening with Halo 6. I never said Halo will outsell Pokemon. However its a juggernaut franchise that with protential can sell double digit millions and will push Hardware.

Remember the Xbox also has massive Xmas sales and is attractive for the 4k market which will be big in the next few years and houses the big 3rd party games. Switch will sell well for awhile however its New, its still selling based off hype and the fanbase. X1 is in its 4th year, its sales will start to look small by now however there are heaps of reasons for them to raise. As an over the top example - Sea of Thieves might be the next Minecraft, we dont know. All i can say is dont base your judgment off the sales charts when one number isn't even confirmed by MS.

I see Nintendo releasing a new system in 2021 which will replace the Switch while X1X will continue to push X1 sales same goes for X2. Thats my prediction.

The most logical reason MS aren't releasing numbers is because the numbers are not good. If Xbox One was doing well, they'd be bragging about it.

The sales of Halo games have been in decline since Halo 3 in 2007, with each entry selling worse than the one preceeding it. Halo only crossed the 10 million mark once, and those days are long gone. Neither Halo 6 nor Sea of Thieves will alter Xbone's trajectory significantly, just like Halo 5 didn't, Gears of War 4 didn't, and Quantum Break didn't.

Xbox One X is too expensive to make a big difference, people will just buy the PS4 Pro instead. While Switch has carved out a niche for itself, Xbone has to compete directly with PS4, and is getting its arse kicked.

And why would Nintendo replace Switch after only 4 years? MS are the ones with a motive to replace and move on sooner.

Of course MS are hiding there numbers, back before the S model came out. They are sticking to not telling gamers the numbers because all its doing is creating negative feedback for the platform. Its smart actually not to reveal sales numbers. All MS care about is the profit at the end if the day.

Halo is on the decline yet Halo 4 is one of the best selling Halo games, out selling many of the previous ones apart from 3 and Reach? I dont understand your logic here.

X1 is too expensive yet the Switch is more expensive to buy? 

The Switch does not appeal to the 4k industry or movie industry. The Switch also lacks 3rd party support, something X1 does well im. 

How do you know Halo 6 or Sea of Thieves wont be major hits? Haha thats an assumption. I am just giving examples here. Red Dead 2 will sell well on X1 or the next GTA game.

Why would MS replace the foundation they just built? They wouldnt he heavily focused on BC games just so they can restart again. Switch will be a hard sell in afew years when 4k becomes the norm. X1 wont.

Even if the Switch doesn't outsell X1. Sales doesnt lead to quality. Switch and X1 are still great platforms with very good benefits on both.
