Microsoft chose this path, mostly. Xbox Series started as the fastest-selling Xbox in history despite still selling less than PS5. But by about some point in 2022, it cratered and Microsoft not only kept up the same day PC releases, but also releasing Xbox games on PS5.
If Microsoft put in a little more effort, Series probably would've cleared 50 million units lifetime. They clearly don't care about consoles, though.
Even with GTA VI out in 2026, I think it'll mostly be played by current Series owners or people who get one used. Microsoft clearly is having few of them made.
35 million seems inevitable, but maybe not 36 million units.

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)
PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)
