At this rate Xbox will have to make a lot of big moves just to make it a closer fight than PS4 vs Xbone.

They'll have to substantially up production, keep Bethesda games off Playstation, (which I doubt will happen) make Halo cool again after 5's missteps, showcase what their hardware can do to avoid the perception that PS5 is graphically superior again, and build up a competitive first party catalogue as Sony did over the PS3-PS4 years, and even if they manage all that it'll probably still sell like 80 million while PS5 will most likely outsell the PS4.

Only really being strong in NA is just too much of a disadvantage against a brand that's popular all over the world.

And sell at least 8-10 million units in Japan. I don't see that happening unless they change the name of Xbox and make it portable with a ton of Japanese franchises. Small and big.

Yeah Japan is basically free sales for PS5 as XS is a non-factor there. Europe and ROTW also lean heavily Playstation. The USA alone can't offset all that, especially when XS isn't even winning in America atm.
