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. |
Yeah, I've mentioned this before as well, the push for Gamepass to simultaneously be a system-seller for the Xbox machines and a service available on other platforms made no sense to begin with. Their entire approach was a shot in the foot waiting to happen, at least as far as hardware is concerned. It really makes me wonder what their thinking and strategy is ahead of the next generation.
