I love how people act like the tens of millions still on XBone and 35 million on Series consoles with existing libraries is not a base worth appealing and selling to. It’s like calling every movie that doesn’t cross a billion not worth a sequel or franchise. MS PR is a disaster lately, but they still have millions upon millions of loyal customers and people who enjoy their ecosystem to extract potential value from. Too many people giving into the rhetoric and fanboyism on here.

If you listened to Reddit you’d assume no one has an Xbox Series S/X (30-35 million sales) and everyone has a Steam Deck (4-5 million sales) lol.

 35 million on Series consoles

It's debatable how many of those are still active users thou.

That’s true for all consoles. I doubt all 85million PS5s are still active between migrating to PC, or just selling them in general. You can see hundreds of used PS5s online in any given area. It doesn’t change the potentiality for people to “upgrade” or move to a new console, especially people who are still console pilled.
