When (if at all) Do You Think the NS Hardware Sales LTD Will Overtake XOne's?

Its actually possible if the X1 sales see a decline from something like a console announcement and the Switch has another year at par or better than 2018.

I'm leaning 2020, but 2019 could happen if Switch does like 20 million.

I think Switch is definitelly selling 20 million this year, but I'm not so sure Xbox One sales will slow down that much.

X1 will definitely decline if last gen is any indication. The same year X1 and PS4 was announced the 7th gen consoles declined.

But if MS says there will be continued support of X1, that could help with potential sales. I'm guessing X1 will be closer to 5 million in 2019, I don't think X1 crossing 50 million is a guarantee this year.

Personally I think a smart move would be to release a final revision of the base X1 that actually switches to a faster RAM and GPU boost at par with PS4. A remodel like that at $199 could stimulate some sales and give better performance to the existing library. Not sure if that's in the cards though, maybe MS will sooner discontinue the X1S and push the X1X as the budget console after revisions.

Hence, how the X1 performs in 2019 and even 2020 depends on how MS positions X1/X1X with 9th gen around the corner. I anticipate the cross gen support for X1 will be pretty good, certainly better than what 360 had.
