Will Xbox Series X/S make it to 36 million?

I mean we know the year on year declines Xbox is having, you don't continue to make hardware that is seeing 40%-50% year on year declines with already low numbers. For example; Xbox this year is selling considerably less than Switch 1, and that is an older console that was on its way out this year. And the Switch numbers were so low for Nintendo that they needed a replacement on the market as quickly as possible this year, while Xbox series X/S could only dream about reaching the very low Switch 1 sales this year.

Switch 1 is getting discontinued because it isn't powerful enough to run any new third party games minus indie games. Microsoft just needs to drop the xbox price instead of raising them. Nobody wants to buy a 700 dollar console.

Lower production volume means higher prices. MS won't drop the XBox price, they just raised them...

MS would have to redesign the Series S to make a much cheaper to produce smaller model to be able to lower the price. Yet without the expected volume to sell, the R&D costs won't be recouped and it will still be a loss. Plus the whole slim console business model doesn't work anymore with high inflation, at best a slim model would be closer to the original launch price :/

Series S launched at $299, currently $379.
