My guess is:
XBox Series S outsells PS5 all digital
PS5 (disc drive) outsells XBox Series X
PS5 disc + digital combined outsell XBox Series X + S combined

Extremely unlikely. This is not a case where something would sell more simply because it's cheaper. Brand power and popularity cannot be ignored in this case. Eg. A Oneplus typically cost half as much as an iPhone, but an iPhone will still sell 50x more than the Oneplus.

Not unlikely at all.

My guess is that those who buy a xbox are much more likely going to pick the Series-S (~ 35 to 40%) over of the Series-X

Whereas I believe that Sonys all digital system will only play a minor role in their hardware sales ( ~ 15% to 20% )

and that the vast majority will buy the one with a disc drive. The rest is math:

Assuming a 2:1 ratio in favor of playstation in hardware sales, 0.3 ~ 0.4 of each system sold will be all digital for sony, and 0.35 ~ 0.4 for microsoft and

the averages are therefore 0.35 for sony and 0.375 for microsoft.

Because 0.375 > 0.35, microsofts Series-S will sell more than Sonys all digital system in absolute numbers.

And just to make it clear once again, this is my GUESS.

Also your example doesnt match the situation.
