How ? If they keep selling under 10 million per year, how by the end of the generation (probably in 5 years now) can it go above 70 million ? It's like people claiming the Switch will barely hit 20 million this year, I don't understand how people do their math. |
First of all, we have no idea if it will ALWAYS sell under 10M a year, we only have the data based off the first year, which I think we can all agree isn't exactly accurate to demand. We also have no idea how long this generation will last. My guess is 7-8 years since the last 2 gens were 7+.
Series X|S sales have been averaging around 170K weekly, which is still less than demand. I imagine they could average 200K+ weekly as we saw in Feb-Mar 22 when they had better supply. That easily puts them damn near 10M with averaging 200K weekly sales for the year, then toss in holiday sales. Xbox could surpass 10M next year or the year after depending on how long the shortages continue.
