Xbox One's software sales for a console in it's peak years, 5 years in is really atrocious. Selling less than a handheld with 17 million unit sales even on an exclusive release week. In what metric is this console even a success relative to the current market?

I mean, the xbox one ecosystem isnt really healthy. Between all the people that bought multiple consoles moving to slim and X, all the ones that moved to PS4/PC mid gen because microsoft dropped the ball, the low number of total hardware sold and the really weak weekly numbers, its easy to see the active install base of the xbox one isn't big.  On the other hand, Switch is also beasting in term of software sales. 

 

I feel like Microsoft are going to keep their money and let the Xbox one die until the next gen. They could have launched a new system entirely this year instead or next year but the Xbox one X will pretty much guarantee most hardcore xbox fans to stay on the previous system for some years. So to me the X was a big mistake and they should have just released a new system early/mid 2019.
