I'll go with 110-130 million. Like the PS4 no big mistakes were made so unless they screw up big time later the vast majority of PS4 users should decide against switching to Xbox though with the Xbox Series X/S being much more appealing than the Xbox One was some marketshare will be lost but it shouldn't be a ton lost or anything like that so things will be at least somewhat more competitive this time around.

I would agree with this if Microsoft appeared like it was more focused on competing on the console sales aspect. Microsoft is more focused on the Game Pass business model which is a much bigger focus on userbase across multiple platforms vs focusing on maximizing console sales.

They're focusing enough on it still to do better than last time I think. Stuff like making sure their console is the more powerful one shows they do still wanna remain competitive in the console space though it is true they care less about console sales than they did in the past.
