Sure. I do agree with you for sales it is better to drop the price than to increase the storage. It will only be a matter of MS satisfied with the sales curve or needing to reduce the price to meet it. If they are satisfied and want to just revamp while having more profit they'll double the SSD size, if they aren't then they cut the price while keeping the SSD size. But I have no doubt at one point before the end of the gen we will have the Series S or equivalent with a 1Tb SSD and Series X with 2Tb.

@SvennoJ, I'm not sure the margins on the expansion drives are necessarily very high.  The prices aren't very far out of line with other very high speed SSDs.  Let alone ones as tiny as these (the expansion drives are ridiculously small, I was blown away when I finally saw one in person).

@DonFerrari, I'm 100% confident we won't see a 1 or 2 Tb (terabit) Xbox Series system!  ;)  As for a 1 TB Series S, that's wouldn't surprise me as price on drives fall, especially since it's a digital-only system.  A 2 TB Series X?  I have my doubts about that.  Despite the Xbox One and One S coming in 2 TB versions, when the One X came out it only ever came out in a 1 TB variant, and there were only 1 TB variants of the One S by the end as well IIRC.  With external storage options for running back-compat games and storing games that require a velocity drive, and expansion cards for those that want them, I suspect the 1 TB max is likely here to stay for the foreseeable future. 

At the start of their gen both X1 and PS4 were 500Gb consoles, their refreshs were 1TB.
