I don't think Xbone can reach 50 million lifetime with Scarlett coming in less than a year.

I dunno, it's only 5 million off that now, and it still has the rest of the holiday season then next year, I think it'll get there, albiet barely.

It's not going to be pretty.  Considering how old XB1 is, an average YoY drop around 50% is likely.  It wouldn't be so bad if they had a successor released this year.  But with XB1 being their main console it's going to be pretty embarrassing. 

Yeah it really feels like it should've been replaced this year, but then that would've given Sony a whole year to figure out how to counter and out-shine them, and they would've been Dreamcasted when PS5 hit.

Nah, I think Sony should have released this year too.  But it is going to look worse for Microsoft, because their sales are already low.

Also, I don't know what you mean by "Dreamcasted".  The only company that did in the Dreamcast was Sega, because they ran their company poorly and their arcade business was also not producing money.  Releasing early actually is an advantage though.  That is another reason why Microsoft should have released Scarlett this year.
