But the S didn't tank really. They are a little bit down YoY compared to 2016 but last summer they've got some insane pricecuts even selling original Xbone for 200$ just to clear the stock for the S. With X release I can even see them ending this year up YoY. Xbox sells very bad in the first half of the year. It's a simple rule for this gen.

I'll say the S lost steam, to be more charitable, though it's really just semantics.
The console barely ranks in the Amazon US top 100 despite price cuts and heavy bundling, and worldwide the situation is even more dire.
Which really wouldn't matter if MS weren't banking for there to be an audience willing to buy a beefed-up version of the thing that isn't selling, at a higher price.
