Crazy!
Despite the big drops year on year you actually expect the XBSX to reach 40 and even 50M ? I can't see it. With the recent drops, 40M will be very hard, let alone 50. GTA VI will sure do some boost, but given the history, how it's times less popular on Xbox than on PS, I don't expect the boost to be so big, maybe 1-2M at most. Given the year is struggling to pass the 4M mark for the XBSX (maybe it will but not much past it), and given the big drops every month, in every region, next year should be maybe the same (just because of GTA VI) and after that I honestly expect something like 2.5M and even 1.5M after that. So 35M should be a given, 37-38M maybe, 40 is a stretch but still not impossible. But 50 out of every possible question... unless Microsoft go crazy and cut the S to 199$ and Series X to 399$, while at the same time PS5 remains 450$ for the digital and 500$ for the disc option.

(you actly called me crazy lol.) You make fair points…I’m curious how previous GTA entries performed btwn Xbox and Sony *at launch*. I suspect long-term figures will def favor PS5 (for the obvious reason that more ppl will own a PS5, and PS Plus subscribers may receive it for free later down the line just as with GTAV), though I could see launch figures around 3:1 PS5:XBSS/X, with more Xbox systems moved than PS5 (due entirely to the affordability of Xbox, and the U.S. love for Xbox & GTA).

GTA is HUGE in europe... I suspect much bigger than in the USA.
So while it will ofc boost the xbox, the impact will be much bigger on the PS side.
Also unlike you, I think with marketing and wanting the best looking GTA (for 2 years until it hits PC),
the PS5pro will have a bigger impact than the Series S (for being cheap) will.
