I do not see any possible way for XBSXS to surpass 40mil. The price hikes have ended any chance of this. How can a system seeing massive YoY drops — that is currently selling on par with Wii U — manage to cobble up 6.7mil more systems? Well…unless Sony does a price hike on their system. (Though even that wouldn’t do much to help XBSXS specifically with the launch of GTAVI. Sony now has the economical advantage.)

Cerny is a smart dude.
The fact that the PS5 was much cheaper to make than the XSX is now paying off.
Even if on paper the series X was like ~20% higher, in terms of actual theoretical performance it didn't really show in games most of the time.

There is were perhaps saving like +50-100$ on BOM making the device is paying off in spades (compared to the XSX).

Under 30 million according to leaker Kepler_L2 which make more sense.

Hmmm...
Also intresting about the PS5 (base unit) sales being sold at a tiny loss, while the XSX is now after the raised prices just reached profitable range.

Yeah if the "real" number of Xbox Series sold is around 29-30m range (probably just slightly below) (ei. 3m+ overtracked here)....
There is just no way its hitting 40m lifetime.
