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.

True; I didn't consider that, but with the way sales are cratering it is entirely possible that they abort their plans for a next gen Xbox. I hope they don't, as I don't think it would be good for consumers to have only one option for dedicated console gaming, but at this point, I just can't see any way to salvage Xbox, it's been run into the ground so hard it's currently situated somewhere in the Earth's mantle.
