Welp, 1.31 million to go as of VGC's current numbers, but the way things are going, even that may prove a bridge too far.
Truly amazing how every time it seems like Xbox's situation can't get any worse, it somehow finds a way to dig itself even deeper.

For the first time, a console can be called a financial asset!

Take your used Xboxes and sell them—you'll make a profit! lol

Buy a Switch 2! It's cheap right now, but the price will go up in 2026 and 2027! You'll be able to resell it later at a profit!

1.2M to go ..

GTA6 is launching 1-2 years too late. It could have done wonders to both Xbox and PS5. Funny we thought a couple of years ago was so bad in terms of prices. At this rate we may one day look back at this year's prices fondly 🤪

AI is crushing the hardware industry, cling onto your precious consoles and pray the shitstorm is temporary.

VGChartz now has the Xbox Series at 35.02 million, following June's numbers.

980k to go.

It will, I have no doubt about that.

Time to go back to the 40M question ? or maybe something in the middle .. 38M ?

If it hits 36m maybe we change it to 37? 

I feel like 40m is still out of reach to be honest.

I think it will reach 36 million this year. GTA VI plus holiday boost will most likely give it a push to 36 million, or very close.

I know GTA VI will benefit PS5 more, but I'm pretty sure some people who still don't own a current gen system will choose an Xbox.

Xbox is getting another big price hike next week. Unless Sony follows suit with yet another price hike, GTA6's system selling effect may heavily favor the PS5 if it's available in large enough volumes. It's a question of availability. If Sony doesn't ship enough PS5's to meet demand then Xbox might see a massive YOY increase in Q4 despite the crazy high prices.

I don't really think GTA6 will have a huge long term impact considering the hardwares' age and awful price trajectory. But still... it's GTA6... and nothing like it ever released, so the unknown factor is pretty big here.
