Xbox series X/S is selling like a console that is about to be replaced. I don't think Microsoft can wait out a PS6 release and launch their next hardware the same time as PS6 this time around. They need to go 1-2 years before the PS6 (And their next hardware is probably not a traditional console anyway).

And that's putting it mildly.


Xbox 360 Sales (Jan-May 2013) = 2.18m
Xbox One sales (Jan-May 2020) = 2.09m
Xbox Series Sales (Jan-May 2025) = 1.13m

The Xbox One in the year it was replaced was selling almost double what the Xbox Series is doing this year, which itself wasn't a sales success.

I agree with you, MS can't wait till 2027/2028 to launch their next console and keep the Series running. 2024 sales were already a record low for the full year sales of a current xbox console, 2025 will again be Xbox's worst on record. If the Series isn't discontinued by the end of 2026 sales will be so low it might as well be.

The next Xbox consoles are going to be very expensive. More than what most casual gamers are going to stomach. They need to continue the Xbox series consoles sales. Xbox Ones were still getting games 4 years later. Series consoles will be powerful enough to run next gen games minus all the bells and whistles.
