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.

Same. Series S GTA VI sales could very well be surprisingly good due to casuals, pushing sales into the mid 40's.

As long as next gen for XB isn't 2026, because if it is, MS is going to push GTA VI marketing for the next gen console(s) like the XB brand depends on it. The only way this wouldn't hinder Series sales, is if next gen there was only 1 SKU and it's $500 or more, then Series S sales could still do quite well until it was discontinued. 

If there was a new Series S2 equivalent, or a handheld (hybrid), next gen, in 2026, with massive GTA VI marketing, then Series S and X aren't going to hit 40m. MS would probably announce next gen early like they did with Series X in this case, but wouldn't care at all because they would want to move past XB Series even more so than they did with XB1.
