But then we had last year, where the XBO's 2018 was running smack against the 360's 2010, the year the 360 S was released and helped propel the 360 to a significant peak:

Great charts and info as always and while I agree with pretty much everything you said, I dont understand why you always cite the S model for 360 explosive growth but leave out Kinect.
S model was definitely a contributing factor, as the chart shows, its June launch followed by Halo Reach in Sept gave it a huge boost over the Summer and would have given a nice holiday boost as well.
But the thing is without Kinect that holiday boost would not have been as significant, nor would the monthly sales in 2011. Kinect was a massive, casual phenomenon selling over 8 million units in holiday 2010 and 18 million by the end of 2011.
Without Kinect, the S model would have had a PS2 Slim or Xbox One X effect.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
