40 million doesn't look likely anymore. Even in North America, it seems like they've been limiting the stock since after the holiday season of 2024.
I think Xbox is content for GTA VI to be sold largely to existing Series owners instead of trying to drive up hardware sales.
Considering the fifth Xbox doesn't seem like it's coming out until Holiday 2027 (as opposed to the earlier rumored Holiday 2026) and if that's the case, I think Series will whimper for the next few years. It could sell as low as 2 million a year.
