I understand what you are saying but just practically if it was higher I doubt Microsoft would be shipping on PlayStation and raising the price as much as they have.   Microsoft's actions and the actions of retailers like Costco tell us the sale are really horrible.  Every report we get has sales far lover than the Xbox One... except for Japan and that died quickly.   I dont ever remember the Xbox One being down 30-50% year over year for like 3 years and then down 70%.  Sales have never been this low for Xbox in November.  Also other folks like Kepler have stated that VGChartz has it overtracked.  

Yes VgChartz could be over tracking, but whatever number they and other analysts have it's all just a guess until we get the real numbers.

I think the reason Xbox is putting their games on all platforms is Satya Nadella after their ABK buyout. Their gaming division got so big that he wants their gaming division to be like their Office division of putting their products and services on as many devices as possible to reach more people. I think even if the Xbox Series sold better Satya would still push their Xbox division to put their games everywhere possible. He constantly talks about being everywhere. He cares more about selling their software and services than hardware. We're also seeing this with PlayStation to some degree with all their games going to PC, now we're seeing PlayStation license out their IPs and allowing them on Switch, and we saw Lego Horizon go to Switch and Helldivers 2 go to Xbox. I think the gaming landscape will be different in the next 5-10 years.

XBox isn't even bragging about MAU nor gamepass numbers this year and has cancelled the year's wrap-up...

It all looks more like a general disinterest in the XBox platform, AI is where MS' head is at.
