If we are talking about a late 2021 release, it does kinda beg the question of how many people will even still be active on Xbox One by that point, a year after the release of Series X/S.

Well, Call of Duty Advanced Warfare was a cross-gen release Holiday 2014, 1 year after XB1 and PS4 released. VGC has physical sales for Advanced Warfare at:

  • PS3- 4.27m
  • 360- 4.34m 
  • XB1- 5.22m
  • PS4- 7.53m

So it seems like they could maybe increase their potential console playerbase by about 80% by still releasing on Xbox One Holiday 2021, instead of Xbox Series/PC only. However, it is worth noting that the Xbox Series S, especially if it costs $250-300 as rumored, could possibly prompt much faster next-gen adoption rates than we saw this gen, especially if MS did make Halo Infinite Xbox Series/PC only. 

That's the thing, it seems like S could make the transition faster this time, also this is for COD, a more casual game. Xbone was also not as successful as PS3 or 360.
