The collapse is truly something. If someone went back to 2022 when it was selling fairly well and said that it would fail to reach 40m most people would laugh and consider the person a troll.

So true, heck even when I made this thread in April 2024 some people thought it was silly to suggest it wouldn't reach 40 million, now less than two years later even 36 million is looking doubtful.

I was one of those people in fact lol. Back then for it to fail to reach 40m Microsoft would have to no longer do things like significant discounts for the holidays and in general completely give up on trying to sell it which I did not think was a realistic possibility but them announcing 4 ports to the PS5 a couple months earlier should've shown that was actually a realistic scenario.
