   I looked for a thread like this, but didn't find one (sorry if I missed it).

   How many units did the Xbox One X and/or the PS4 Pro sell?  Any reliable figures out there?

   I'm curious if we'll ever see a next-gen title that also gets released on the last-gen "Pro" systems.  There are some games that don't require asset streaming off the SSD that, if they work on the Series S, might also work acceptably on the PS4 Pro or One X.

   Don't get me wrong, I see the problems.  That either means you write it for the Pro and One X, and then run it on the new consoles in "Back-Compat. Plus", or you code it next-gen while simultaneously coding it for the Pro and One X.

   So the question is, is there enough of a Pro and One X market out there that we might ever see a game like that (that would otherwise be next-gen only)?

Microsoft doesn't release sales figures, so we will never know. For Sony they do release sales figures, but only talk overall sales.

As for my guess. PS4 Pro is around 10-15 million and Xbox One X is around 5-7 million. I also think the PS4 Pro sold the most in all regions except in North America, where Xbox One X sold more there.

As for the bold text. The Xbox Series S is more powerful than the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, so I don't think that will be the case for certain games. Also I've been saying since the Pro and X were released that Sony and Microsoft should allow developers to make games exclusively for those systems to take advantage of the extra GPU capabilities. Nintendo allowed exclusive games on the GBC, DSi, and New 3DS which are upgraded systems not a new generation. I didn't see why not since both Sony and Microsoft allowed exclusive games for the PSVR, PS Move, and Kinect. 

I honestly think they should lift that now, so that games going to only Xbox Series and PS5 will have a chance to see a PS4 Pro and Xbox One X release for those that may not move to the new generation of consoles anytime soon.
