Can the Switch realistically surpass XBOX One's sales figures?

Microsoft has fought their asses off all generation, unbundled Kinect, multiple price reductions, 2 revisions, released their biggest IP (Halo, Gears, Forza), has full AAA support, paid for exclusives/timed exclusives (Titanfall, Tomb Raider, PUBG), released a handful of new IP (Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, ReCore, Sea of Thieves). They just cant seem to get out of that ~8 million/year baseline.

I honestly don't see it that way, unbundling kinect was surely a solution to a problem they created themselves and many of their exclusives are now also on PC and not even inferior versions either, many run better than on Xbox. I think they have failed to create exclusive content with worldwide appeal and their standard xbox one hardware is similarly priced to ps4 and the xbox one X is some way above PS4 Pro in pricing. So many reasons to choose playstation over xbox but so few reasons to choose Xbox over Playstation especially if you PC game as well. Still love my Xbox One but it's hard to recommend to others nowadays especially here in the UK.  Also Sunset Overdrive was terrible, not something I enjoyed playing to say the least and that's coming from someone who absolutely adored all their Resistance games on ps3 and still play them to this day occasionally. Sea of Thieves while beautiful is more work in progress needing more content. Looking forward to playing it perhaps in 6 months when the whole game is there.

Just because their plans arent working doesnt mean they arent trying hard.
