Thanks to every reponses about Series performance in sales.

To be honest, it's a bit of a morale killer to see this (it's pretty extreme I admit :P).
It hurts my heart to know that the brand that rocked my childhood could potentially disappear, even if there's nothing to indicate that at the moment, especially with Microsoft's massive investment. (ABK & Zenimax)

I sincerely believe that the Xbox Series is Microsoft's second-best console, behind the 360 and well ahead of the One.
What "pisses me off" is how bad Microsoft is at marketing, especially in Europe.

The days of the 360 are long gone in this aspect.

Well, to give you a miniscule bit of hope: I am one of these elusive europeans and even more, I am not even from the UK, I am a german. And yet Xbox Series is my first XBox-console and I am playing it (besides my Switch and recently also a bit more PC).

So why did I join the Xbox camp? Well, two words really describe it: Obsidian and Gamepass. I was really pissed when MS bought Obsidian. But all the wailing was pointless and I had to come to terms with the fact, that there is a place I still can play new Obsidian games. And Gamepass is undoubtely great value. I am too much of an intermittent gamer, so I probably lose money actually, but it makes picking up a new game on a whim also pretty easy. And the paradox is: as a teenager I had a lot of time to play games, but not much money to buy them. Now I have enough money, but not enough time. So I don't really mind "losing" money on Gamepass, but gaining the freedom to decide for a game *now* is worth it.

Oh man, I felt that sentence with all my soul.
