Being behind the Xbox One is seriously impressive but not in a good way
Hopefully the Xbox Series X|S has better sales in its second half than the Xbox One as it should have a stronger lineup of games than the Xbox One. The Xbox Series X|S continues to track ahead of the Xbox 360, which had a slower start and really strong sales in its later years helped by the Kinect.
About the Xbox One sales. Microsoft in the past had stated the Xbox Series X|S was the fastest selling Xbox generation, however, in the most recent earnings report for the end of its last fiscal year didn't state this suggesting the Xbox Series X|S had fallen behind the Xbox One launch aligned. Phil Spencer in the last few months I believe stated the Xbox Series X|S is a few million ahead of the Xbox 360. So it came down to shifting Xbox One sales from its later years to earlier years, so it is now tracking ahead of the Xbox Series X|S.
Behind the Xbox One, despite the One not selling that well in the end. Rough. They really need a powerful upwards tail like the 360 had, or they are out this gen.
The 360 actually sold well in Europe, I don't see Microsoft reversing their sales momentum in Europe for the Series X/S, which means a bad ending for Microsoft here.
Despite the low-end S, it sold less than the Xbox One. If you think the Xbox Series X sold 10 million units, it's a ratio of ps5 to 4 to 1. It's truly a console for the underdog.
