Like I said, if Microsoft screws, Xbox Series won't reach 40 million... And so far, they're screwing it.

But man, some people are extremely doom and gloom when talking about Xbox sales. It almost feels like they're enjoying it, geez...

Sales aren't great that is for sure. But they could be far worse - Wii U or PS Vita worse. Unless sales fall in the US like it is in Europe it should outsell the Atari 2600 (30M), N64 (32.93M), and Sega Genesis (34.06M). Though, no chance it catches to the SNES (49.1M), which is next after those consoles.

Plus, Xbox isn't just about consoles anymore as all Xbox games are available day one on PC and some have been released on PlayStation and Nintendo. I don't know how many people are like me, but I made the switch to PC in the last few years as I can play Xbox and PlayStation games on it now. I will likely get the Switch 2 at some point depending on if the next 3D Mario game is like 64/Odyssey and if Game Freak can actually release a Pokémon game without major issues.
