What does that have to do with what i was saying though? I never claimed it's going to make a comeback or become competitive with PS4/Switch, that's obviously not gonna happen. But it selling another 9 million before being discontinued is not at all far-fetched.

I forget how much it sold in 2018 but IIRC it was in the ballpark of 7 million. A moderate drop due to the age of the system could see that decline to 5-6 million this year, then another 4 million between then and its discontinuation seems very achievable. It would only need to sell, say, 3 million in 2020 and another 1 million in 2021, that's hardly out of reach.

Very likely it will go over the 9million mark before being discontinued, my post was to CGI who said 9m in 2 years, that won't happen unless something drastic happens imo.

Never know as well, MS might come out with a revision in the same family, they've spoken about forwards compatibility when it comes to their next system so as to not be starting a new generation from scratch so there is the possibility that the next MS machine will be the Xbox1-Chapter2 but still be in the same sales clump as the original machines so it will go well beyond 50m units when wave 2 would begin.

It'd be kinda a bad call to keep the 'Xbox One' name as it has negative connotations. And even if they did keep the name for their next gen system, if it was an all new system and the games no longer came to the base Xbone, then it wouldn't be the same sales clump regardless of what it was called. I mean Wii U wasn't clumped together with the Wii.
