Xbox having its worst September ever really boggles my mind. Im expecting GTA 6 to break the fall next month and November.

For PS5..  so back a few months ago during one of Sonys conference calls, it was stated that They had not seen a sales effect as a result of all the negative social media content.  It should be noted that online is not real life.  

Xbox will be around -30% again because Microsoft is artificially constraining the production so it doesn't hurt its margins.

What exactly to you mean by that?  I'm not seeing Xbox sold out anywhere.  Do you mean by raising the price they are constraining demand?  While plausable, I think calling it artificial at this point is a stretch?  Is Microsoft prioritizing AI?  For sure, but the biggest issue here seems to be the lack of people actually buying whats on the shelves now.
