How do you feel guys with Series Sales ?

I've been an Xbox 360 gamer since the beginning, and this console was part of my childhood and adolescence. I have a special attachment to the brand with the green X.

But when I see that the Series isn't doing as well as the One, even though I think they're much better machines, as well as the 35% drop in sales in the EU when Starfield was released, I'm afraid of one thing.

That Microsoft will go full PC and abandon consoles for good. I'm starting to get used to them between Kinect, Azure Kinect, Windows Phones, it's a lot.
Obviously, if that happens, it'll be time for me to build myself a war PC so I can continue to enjoy gamepass, but that would be a big turning point...

I hope I'm being pessimistic.

What is your feeling about it?

Nintendo came out of the Gamecube era with the Wii, and out of the WiiU gen with the Switch. Playstation reacted to Vita by dropping handheld consoles.

So yeah, there are two ways to react to a weak generation: double down on your product and improve until it appeals to the mass market or give up.

Which way will MS go? I don't really know, but I guess MS isn't ready yet to give up on the console side of things, because it itself may run weak, but as part of their bigger gaming strategy I see it having it's place.
