Does anybody else think Xbox Series X/S will get discontinued before Xbox 5 is out? I do think it might and it would be a Wii U situation where it's discontinued about a month before the successor launches.
Lifetime Sales Predictions
Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)
PS5: 122 million (was 105 million, then 115 million) Xbox Series X/S: 38 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 million. then 40 million)
Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)
PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)
3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

Xbox One was discontinued around the time the Xbox Series X|S released, so I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft does the same thing with the Xbox Series X|S once the next-gen Xbox launches.

And they took a year to tell us.
I know Sony and Microsoft are different, but I wonder if PS4 was discontinued 6 months to over a year ago. All models were discontinued in Japan nearly 2 years ago.

Sony hasn't updated PS4 figures since the quarter ending March 31, 2022, which was just 100K. I figured it was basically discontinued around that time even if Sony hasn't said anything.

Probable. The sales since then are just from last shipments, I'm sure.
Xbox One sales I think died out completely around mid-2022. Not sure if you have easy access to the last time the site updated Xbox One sales in a week.

We have Xbox One at an estimated 3.95M in 2020, 112K in 2021, and 8K in 2022. We tracked PS4 until 2024.

Thanks for that. I think 3DS was tracked until 2021 or 2022 after it was discontinued in 2020.
