The gap will continue to widen, even with MS owning ABK and releasing the games they have been working on. It is just inevitable as PS is the more popular brand worldwide. Now that doesn't mean they can't try and compete with some fresh new ideas and incentives to get more people onto game pass. I wish them the best but I already have my consoles.

What a fucking beating in february omg.
The "fastest selling Xbox" claim won't probably last forever, if the gap between the X/S and One is now only 0.92 million
It will still last a while. Xbox one already on decline and Xbox 360 doesn't overtake that until around month 47th.
Series sales are on decline too, since December. Will probably go up again later this year, but the trend is down for now
