I honestly have no idea. Series S throws a wrench into the normal sales predictions. I'll guess 8 to 8.9 million. Series X will fall far behind PS5 in sales due to the digital PS5 being a better deal. But then there's the S which combined with gamepass should capture a chunk of the broke gamer market.

Ok so currently, after 3.5 months we have 1.5 million units sold, so I guess it will eventually reach 4 million by october and maybe 3 more million during the last quarter, so total being 7 million

Ok so far it's pretty much spot on

XBO (Jan - August 2013) = 2.19m
XSX (Jan - August 2021) = 3.89m

Would have to have a pretty poor holiday to not stay ahead of the XBO. 8.5m for the year is my guess but I think that's conservative.

My Xbox Series S is my baby. It grew up into an X.

You've got close for the 4m by October, problem you're going to have is 3m in the last quarter is very low. The XBO managed 4.35m in the final quarter of 2014. 3m is only going to happen if they can't make more than that.

That's the problem, I don't think they'll manage to produce a bigger amount of Series X by the end of the year

Iirc someone did a chip production analysis on TSMC for PS5 and XSX/S chips. The estimates were 16 million : 8 million.
Lines up with the 2:1 sales dominance PS has over XB now (which grew to 2.5:1 over the gen) and Sony's PS5 sales prediction.
