• Xbox Series vs Xbox 360 (1.66M) in Japan

was changed to:

• Xbox Series vs 50% of Xbox 360 (0.83M) in Japan

Since the Series is clearly not reaching anywhere close to 360 lifetime sales, and there is nothing I can compare it between, the only logical thing left to do was to compare it to the half of those 1.66M sales, which is 830k. It's a lot more possible for the Series to reach.
