You're attempting to use the current sales ratio to pat yourself on the back, but by the time this generation ends the sales ration could actually be closing in on 3:1 compared to last-gen's 2:1.
Your prediction was that nothing much would change from last-gen, but in reality Xbox has actually torpedoe'd their brand and lost so much of the little marketshare they had left, they've now already entered the emergency escape codes and are mapping out their transition into an umbrella company/publisher that sell niche psuedo-console PCs on the side.
The status quo obviously hasn't been kept with Xbox essentially leaving the console platform space.

My prediction was too conservative lol. I didn't quite expect Xbox to do even worse this gen. But somehow they have.Â

I predicted it was going to be more one-sided than the previous generation, but that was before they acquired Bethesda and ABK which no one saw coming, and before we knew anything about COVID consequences and rising prices.
After the acquisitions, it got harder for me to predict anything, because MS could choose any route they wanted and all of them would've made sense. They can return to exclusives for the long term benefit, or go full 3rd party.
