Yeah exclusives will be more important I reckon and Xbox has a looong way to go if they wanna catch up to Sony in terms of the hardware-moving power of their first party catalogue. They still have yet to prove they can get Halo back on track for a start.

They should overall do better first party wise this time but unfortunately they're not starting well. Also it's kinda funny all this Xbox discussion has happened in the PS5 sales prediction thread instead of the Xbox Series X/S one lol.

Yeah, I think it is not outlandish to assume that PS5 sales and Xbox Series sales are linked. PS3 and Xbox 360 sold together 173M, while PS4 and Xbox One are currently at 165M and probably will not grow much anymore and probably end up similar. So it is quite possible that PS5 and Xbox Series also together sell around the same number, which also means that a stronger Xbox will end up leaving PS5 weaker. If you buy into that premise though is another story.

For people stating that PS5 and Xbox Series launched stronger than their predecessors: so did PS4 and Xbox One.
