If Xbox Series S is 100$ cheaper than PS5 All-Digital, does Xbox have a legitimate chance of outselling PS5 this gen?

I was using 100 because that was the number on MS ad. And sure if you only consider 80%+ Meta (basically only slightly above average) AAA this number drops immensilly.

I won't ask you to explain how this with the lower price of X1S or higher power of X1X didn't made Xbox sales increase (won't even talk about passing PS4), but at least try to explain if this value was so absolute as you try to pass it (yes I can certainly see it is valuable to you and several million people) why it isn't like 80% of the userbase using it regularly.

Both your points I can only say: Gaming subs are very much in their infancy and it’s hard to retrain habits of gamers used to decades old practices of buying their games, whether online or physical. It’ll catch on eventually. And as for sales stats, I am very much aware that Playstations greatest weapon is also intangible (brand power). I said it above, Xbox has to be objectively better in many respects just to be considered, nevermind overtake an ingrained brand loyalty. 

Several other "infant" services got a much bigger growth. Netflix as soon as readily available to several markets got fast growth, PS+ after changing from only discount and give games to paywall for MP grew very fast. People were very fast to accept they wouldn't play MP for free. If people see or think there is better value they will change. So again I won't dispute price or your preference, just that for the market right now GP isn't the value you think it is, in 3 years it may be, but right now it isn't.

As people said, Sony sold 50M consoles for 299-399 USD in the same timeframe MS convinced people to try GP from 1-15/month.
