Ehh, though for a second that we would get the split between Series S and Series X, but it's Series and XOne :/

It's what happens when you make everything available on PC as the latest MAU numbers have XBox at 120M.
Seems like most XBox players are on PC nowadays.

That's 1.5x more than XOne and Series sales combined.

Plus MS says Playstation has double the MAU of XBox consoles

In the CMA report, Microsoft said that PlayStation has double the MAUs of Xbox.
Sony reported PlayStation had 112 million active users last quarter, which most probably puts Xbox at 50-55 million.
PlayStation also has the highest market share in hardware and console install base globally, while Xbox is last in both.

That would put over half of XBox users on PC unless MS is doing something fancy with number reporting.
It makes sense, GP on PC is cheaper and no fee for multiplayer.

You're forgetting mobile, Switch and PS users. For example:

Ahh yes, Minecraft migrated to MS accounts a couple years ago. I forgot. So over half of XBox players don't play on the MS console. Which is MS' goal anyway, play anywhere as long as it's under an MS / XBox account.
