PS5 doing amazing after so much pent up demand but man Xbox Series being down this much is rough. It's not doing worse than the Xbox One so it's not truly terrible but if this keeps up it's only gonna do somewhat better than that did long term which isn't good considering how the Xbox One did.

With how good sales were a year ago for Xbox Series X|S I was thinking it could have done 70M-80M lifetime. With how sales are right now I see it more like 60M-70M. Starfield (And having decent Xbox Series X stock) will be the true test to how much a big AAA game can come for Xbox that isn't Halo, Gears, or Forza.

I really don't see how the Xbox gonna end up selling more than 60 million. It's Xbox One all over again, people are losing faith in the console, so from now on it will probably be huge discounts with Game Pass for 3 months bundles until the end of the generation.
