Do you think the Xbox console business is salvageable?

Ps3 : 8.92   , XB360 : 7.5  ,  Wii : 9.05
Ps4 : 13.8   ,  XBone : 6.55  ,  WiiU 7.52  / Switch : 8.94

From the above chart.

I suspect that with the "Xbox Series" the attach rates are lower, due to gamepass.

And  yes... ofc it is still salvageable.

I'm just not sure if their current rumored strategy will be the one that really does it.
Like I am not expecting the new xbox hybrid PC, to sell more than the current "Xbox Series" did.

There are rumors of it being much more expensive than Playstation next gen (ei. ~800$ vs 1200-1500$).
I just don't see how a potentially 1500$ box, goes onto sell like 100m units.

According to Vgchartz, the 360 sold around 1 billion games, surpassing the PS3. There is a lot of unconfirmed data on that list, such as the Vita software number and the Xbox One software number. The Switch number is very outdated, for example, according to Nintendo themselves.

Surpassing the PS3?

Googled "how many games did the xb360 sell" and basically got a "MS never disclosed end of life sale totals".
Googled "how many games did the ps3 sell" and got "Total Software Sold: ~999.4 Million (as of March 31, 2019)."

Your saying "around 1bn" that seems pretty close to the PS3 number then.
Which for a console that sold about what the PS3 did... makes sense.

However this again points towards thing I questioned.

"The main point of consoles is not to sell as many consoles as possible but as many games per console as possible. In that regard all Xbox consoles have been very to extremely successful all of them have very high attachment ratios higher than most consoles." - quote

Does Xbox really have higher game sales than other consoles?

I suspect its around the same, back in the day.... and lower now, after Gamepass.
