Will Xbox Series X/S make it to 40 million?

I mean, 25 million X1 owners were just told: "Hey, it's okay, you can go with PS5 this time around; You will be able to play all of our games there eventually". Not only that, but those X1 owners had to watch Microsoft releasing Hi-FI Rush in other platforms, all while cinically chanting "When everybody plays, we all win!".

I'm actually amazed that anyone could think that this would turn out any different.

Pretty much yeah; putting their first party games on Playstation effectively kills all reason to buy an Xbox, and with it their hardware business. 

Unless something drastically changes, which is looking increasingly unlikely, I expect the next Xbox will be the last and will probably sell Wii U to Gamecube numbers.

If not maybe they'll go back on their word and have no proprietary hardware to show for the next generation. Flip flopping on various issues in the last half of the year tend to make me believe hardware plans could change on a whim by the higher execs.

Not to mention. New hardware wouldn't come before maybe 2026 it seems meaning the numbers for the Series could still fall through during 2025.
