Good video.

But I'm not sure. Usually a new console comes 6-7 years after it's predecessor, so 2026 wouldn't be a bad guess, but I still think Microsoft could wait until 2028, like that leak said.

XS's lead over the 360 looks like its about to disappear, after three years of staying ahead.
The way things are looking, XS will be lucky if it sells half as much lifetime.

That's unrealistically pessimistic. While things are looking rough it's gonna be close to 27m by now so reaching 43m in the next few years is still guaranteed. Falling short of 50m will be on the table though depending on how this year goes.

I mean I hope so cos I think the industry is better off when it's more competitive, but XS's YOY drops recently in only its third year have been brutal, it really seems like the wheels are falling off.
