Comong man we are on a sales website. What would that kind of lie get you anyways? It took 3 years for the 360 to pass the x1. And people like to forget that the 360 was never a great seller. It was just on the market for the longest any console has ever been.

The problem with the x1 is that it sold its highest the very first year. After that it was decline every year. And while the series dosent indicate any sort of decline like the x1 did it still premature to be calling increases. Especially with ms focusing all marketing on gamepass and not the Xbox. Also the complete lack of games that has plagued the xbox for over a decade. We still dont know if the wait is to long next year and we see the same kind of decline the x1 did.

I said Xbox One was already selling less week on week than the 360 at this point and you can chek it out. It's not my problem if you don't know how to read:

Week ending August 19, 2006 (Xbox 360): 73k

Week ending August 23, 2014 (Xbox One): 54k (LESS THAN THE 360 WEEK ON WEEK)

Week ending August 14, 2021 (Xbox Series X/S): 123K

Then X1 had a very low advantage over the 360 for around a year and a half because of the price cut and then it started selling less than te 360 again. There is no reason to think Series is going to start selling less week on week than the 360 until at least 2024.

Edit: for the record, this is my current prediction:

Xbox 360 vs Xbox Series X/S

Year 1: 1.1M vs 3M
Year 2: 6.8M vs 10.5M
Year 3: 7.9M vs 12.5M
Year 4: 11.16M vs 13M
Year 5: 10.36M vs 12.5M
Year 6: 13.5M vs 10.5M
Year 7: 13.9M vs 9M
Year 8: 10.6M vs 8M
Year 9: 6.2M vs 5M
Year 10: 2.5M vs 3.2M
Year 11: 988k vs 1.4M

I expect Series to sell a bit more than the 360 (88M)

If you meant wekly then I misunderstood you. Cuz the x1 did have a way massive launch and then the 360 inch at it untill it beat it.

Also I might have screwed the graph. It might be weeks not months so not really 3 years. Maybe less.
