Series should hit 20m by next weeks numbers. That is 4 months faster than the XBO. It may even hit 21m before the end of the year.
I think it will hit 21m before the end of December. So far 2022 has been up by about 31% YoY compared to 2021, and Xbox Series sold 1.83m in December 2021, so a further 31% increase above that would be about 2.4m for Xbox Series in December 2022. We know Series S is discounted by $50 again for the final 2 weeks before Christmas as well, which will be great for Christmas present shoppers. I think Series can reach over 21m by the end of the year.
Expecting an even bigger increase over Xbox One in 2023. If Xbox Series can sell over 10m consoles in 2022, a year with no big exclusives for Xbox and Series X stock still not where it needs to be, then 2023 with big exclusives like Forza and Starfield and better Series X stock should be more like 13m consoles. Xbox One meanwhile sold just 8.2m in 2016 by comparison.
Your logic seems very solid to me. You're likely to be proven correct.
Redfall as well, at least I think it can make a modest impact when it launches.
this means the Xbox One actually outsold the Series X by itself, a pretty sad indictment of Microsoft's commitment to manufacture the console
Disagree. The Series X and S are the same architecture, no different than creating a single PC game that runs on both high-end and mid-range PCs.
And this two-SKU strategy allowed Microsoft to end Xbox One production when the began Xbox Series production. As opposed to Sony which (last we knew) still manufactures PS4.
Microsoft's decisions have aided the retiring of last-gen, whereas Sony's decisions have contributed to the continuation of last-gen support. I, for one, prefer Microsoft's approach. Series S has been such a success that I'd be willing to bet that Sony copies the strategy next time around.
I predict that there won't be a PS5 Pro. Instead, I predict that Sony will introduce two new PS6 SKUs right off the bat next-gen, both on a new and more efficient architecture. One will be approximately as powerful as a PS5 Pro might have been (similar to how the Series S is only a little more powerful overall as the One X, but vastly more efficient). The other will be a "Pro" console launched right at the beginning of the generation that will be the true successor to the PS5. Both will use the same architecture and it will just be a matter of scaling the fidelity up and down. Same as now happens on the Series X|S, and same as has long happened on PC.
