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.

Yeah back in like 2021-2022 I was one of those who expected the Series to outsell the Xbox One as it was off to a better start.

Then the years passed with hardly any big exclusives, underwhelming releases like Redfall and Starfield, then their games coming to PS/Nintendo, and it all fell apart.

In a way it's kinda the opposite of the PS3 which had a rocky start but then started doing significantly better in 2009. What was your expectations for the Xbox Series when you made this thread? My guess is you thought it would make it but not by that much.
