Not even that many since once the December data gets added it should be at about 32.5m for only 7.5m left to go from now. Some people are acting as if it's only at 25m or something like that with the confidence of it failing to reach 40m.

 People really doom and gloom consoles every time they are down YoY. The only way for Xbox fail to meet 40 million units is Microsoft releasing its sucessor by the end of 2026

Yeah as I said at the start of this thread a lot of people overreacted to its good first couple years but a lot are now overreacting in the opposite direction. Even with a November 2026 release I'd say 40m is still happening unless it's notably overtracked on here.

There were no fire sales this December.

It's also been out of stock selling just 767K units in November. Even if there was a demand they couldn't meet it to mirror Nov and Dec last year.

I already took that into account by estimating about 1.3m for December compared to 1.8m last year.
