Forums - Sales Discussion - Will Xbox Series X/S make it to 40 million?

 

Will it reach 40 million?

Yes it will 90 54.88%
 
No, it will fall short 74 45.12%
 
Total:164

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.



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: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 40 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 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)

Around the Network

Here are 2 charts, in EU and US, in EU vs the PS4 JP sales which finished at 9.7M, and in US the PSP which finished at 20M. Do you think it will match them or come short or barely surpass them ? (keep in mind that starting this year EU is almost flat, and US will be somewhat more flat than last year line, and even though it looks like easy to surpass them, those will be hard battles for the Xbox going forward).

It could match those totals, but it will be very close.

I am on the same position.

So if XBSX was 32M as of December 2024, let's add around 1.5M more for Europe, and around 4M for the US, that is 5.5M, anything else + Japan let's round up to 6M in total, 32+6 = 38M. That we should expect unless Microsoft do something for those sales to pick up at least a little.

The tariffs might be the nail in the coffin for 40m.
