On this forum, there is always a cliff for all consoles that are not PlayStation. It's an obsession some users have. I'm still waiting for the Series X/S cliff people talked about earlier in the year...

In the real world outside of people's imagination, Series is tracking to sell 10-11 million consoles and going to beat Xbox 360's 2009 out of the gate but here, the cliff is always around the corner.

Also Switch is going to sell more than 15M next year.

Xbox 1 also beat the 360 aligned at the begining. Guess what happen next? 

Xbox One was already selling much less than Xbox 360 at this point week on week. Good try, though. Series is selling much more than the 360. There is no cliff to be seen for the next 2 years. It's going to sell more in 2022 and 2023 simply because of the increase in supply. 

Even if Series started selling less than the 360 in 2024 (highly, highly doubtful), the difference would have to be very big for the 360 to keep up. Series is going to sell 10-11 million this year, the 360 didn't reach those sales until it had been three years on the market, in 2022 Series could sell 14 or 15 million (which the 360 never reached).
