In all seriousness here, the baseline should drop to near zero, just like MS did with the original version of the X1 they've undermined anyone with thoughts about buying the current set of machines by showing the upcoming system on the distant horizon, they did it with the X1 by saying that the X1X would fix the issues of no power but now they are claiming that the Scarlett will fix the issues of no games, anyone buying into the X1 console right now is doing so either blind or with the knowledge that the system is on the way out.
I've mentioned this multiple times over the last 2 years, but the X1 has been in a cascade tumbling failure for years/months, given the systems direct competition does everything that it does, but better in every category (with one tiny * for the X1X being more capable of getting to 4k in a handful of titles) but the system has no real selling point outside of the potential that someones mates might be on Xbox live, but given the sales that likelyhood is less and less every single week that passes.
I would predict that by the month of November you are going to see the X1 at sub 30k per week, if not scraping to keep at 20k based on the current decline acceleration. The circling of the drain has sped up, just months ago there was talk of it being able to maintain weekly sales of 85k until it reached the 50m mark, that goal gets less and less likely with each sales data update because each month the system loses around 5k from the weekly sales.

I can see Xbone falling below 40k over the next few months, but sub-30k? I dunno, that just seems too low. That feels more like something that'd happen next year after Scarlet's fully unveiled.

In any case, below 40k would be Wii U level of weekly sales. And that's with near-constant promotions.
