Good for them. Xbox One still sold 50 millions which is not bad at all. I do see them easily surpassing this number with Xbox series.
The Xbox One gained ground over the Xbox 360 until (and including) month 26. Starting with Month 27 the Xbox One went into steady and precipitous decline vs. Xbox 360 sales.
It wasn't until month 41 that the Xbox One finally fell behind the 360. But, when you consider the high failure rate of the Xbox 360 causing many 360 owners to just buy new units, it might not have been until month 55 or even later that the Xbox 360 probably actually had more working units in the market in total than the Xbox One.
So how far ahead of the Xbox One that the Xbox Series consoles are by month 26 will be telling, IMO. And up until month 40 at a minimum the Xbox One is still the point of comparison. I'd argue even up to month 55. But after that, the important comparison becomes the Xbox 360 IMO.
