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

I do think the boost from it won't just be for a single month. If it releases say September then I think October-December would also get boosted some and it would help 2026 overall at least a tad. For Xbox in particular this is a case where the Series S will make a difference since even if the version on that is poor some people will still go with it to play GTA 6 for cheap.

I agree.

I don't think there's any way it only does that much across November and December cause even with big drops it'll still do 2m this holiday but we'll see. I guess there's a chance the ports to Playstation will start having a large negative impact.

If you talk about November + December, last year it did 2.8M. And this year you are saying 2M ? Having in mind all the drops happening through out the year, every month, and in every region, 2M is very optimistic, comparing it to 2.8M last year .. If 50% drops is here for the holidays too, then 1.4M. Even if we put it optimistic at 40% drop, it's still little over 1.6M which will result in 4.5M .. far from the 5M you talked about now, and some months ago, when I again reassured range of around 4 to 4.5M at max or something like that. Of course there may be adjustments again too soon, just like the previous times, they can be both down or up, however, with the data we have at this point, 4 to 4.5M is the most likely to me
