At the same time during the 360 it sold 50m compared to XBO at 41m. Definitely a step down but hopefully next gen MS can rebound. They've been planting the seed to have a pretty good 9th gen.

People keep saying that, or that it will have a big launch. But I fail to see that happening. I mean all the studios  they bought up are either very small with no real big system seller, or a studio that already made exclusives for them. Also not to mention its only gona be a couple of years dv time since they acquire the studios to the supposed release of 2020.  I can only picture small games coming at launch of next gen and maybe a some bigger games mid gen and forward. Ninja theory is the only studio customers can actually expect something from. 

With studio purchases in 2017 and 'XB2' launching holiday 2020 probably, You will likely have Halo Infinite as the big launch title which should hold the core XB fans over for quite a while, maybe even the first year with 2019 BC titles. Then you will probably have one or two GOW sized games drop throughout the year, year after year, mostly to hype Game Pass. They may not be quite GOW level quality, but worthy more intimate story driven titles that MS doesn't typically have on their platform. Let the third parties do most of the gap filling with multi player. There is enough time to make this happen and will be enough to put XB on solid ground and stop the remaining bleeds. They will have to really up their game beyond this as the gen goes on with some new blockbuster IP, if they want to reclaim any lost ground. It's definitely doable but won't be easy as PS isn't likely to let up much if any at all.
