Since most of the Xbox consoles sold in Japan are Series S, I wonder if the rise of Xbox could be related by the size of the current consoles. XSX and PS5 are huge compared to even the fat PS3, let alone older consoles. The Series S instead fits much better into a smaller home where space comes at a premium, like in many Japanese cities.

I'm not sure things are that simple.

It's clearly shifting to the S model however.

Early on the Series X was dominating, with the S only getting some scraps. Last year the Series X outsold the Series S. This year however, the Series S is leading and does so in an increasing amount of weeks. The older the system becomes it seems, the more it seems to shift to the series S. Which is ironic considering it's the weaker model, normally the shift goes towards the more powerful one.
