With the release of the new gen out of the way, what do you think will the Series X/S sell next year? I talk about calendar year 2021 and numbers according to VGC. And to make it something you not just about preferences, I make it a bet, so you should put your VG$ where your mouth is.

You can also bet, which console will sell the most in 2021.

I am guessing 10 to 12 million. In 2014, the Xbox One sold 7.9 million.

I would assume the Series consoles will do considerably better. Especially with the Series S as a cheap next gen option. People dismiss the Series S and somewhat understandably, but its still a significant upgrade over base 8th gen consoles and has great 9th gen features like fast loading.

With the possibility of Halo landing in 2021, the price point of the S, and the assumption that Starfield gets announced as an XBox btand exclusive...I am going to go with a very optimistic 15-17.5 mil.

Xbox has never sold more than 13.8 million in a single year, VERY optimistic  to suggest 17.5 million

Well, there is always the possibility of a first. (-:

But yeah, too bold for me, I go a little lower.

10,500,001 million.



Attention: I added two options beyond 20M. If that is important, you can change your current bet.

I'm going to go with 10m.



Largely dependant on if Forza Horizon 5 and Starfield make that year. Halo is also a wild card in terms of how many systems it will sell



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

I think it will sell around 12 mln in 2021.
