@bolded: I steadfastly disagree with that statement.  If Microsoft decides to make COD, Elder Scrolls and WoW console exclusive to Xbox in 2024 onward, there's a very good chance a victory similar to what 360 had could happen.  Without said occurrence, it may not happen, but it's still possible; whereas the PS5 has zero chance of selling even half of what the PS2 did in Japan.

Yeah no, without complete exclusivity of Call of Duty, there is zero chance of the Xbox Series X/S winning NA like the 360 did. 

Without COD being exclusive it's very unlikely that XS would dominate to that level.  I mean, it would take everything to go right for Microsoft and probably some bad luck for Sony as well, but even without any of that exclusivity I fully expect XS to beat the PS5 in NA, so I'd say at least a modicum of a chance exists.

My issue wasn't so much whether or not the XS would be able to achieve that, but the very lopsided comparison you made:  While the XS could at least approach 360 dominance in NA, the PS5 selling as much as the PS2 in Japan is a complete pipe dream.
