"Xbox Series X|S sold an estimated 2.7 million units in the US market during 2024, marking its worst full-year performance in Xbox history. The numbers in Europe are staggeringly worse, with an estimated 290,000 units sold over the year. When you add the two up, you get just under 3 million in total units sold, which paints a very worrying picture for Microsoft's hardware gaming division.
These numbers are both down from 2023 (which was also a tough year), when Xbox sold 3.8 million units in the US and 550,000 units in Europe, for a combined 4.35 million. This is a nearly 10% drop year over year in units sold, leading Microsoft to report a Microsoft reported a 42% drop in Xbox hardware revenue for the quarter ending in June 2024 in recent months."
Meanwhile PS5 had its best quarter ever last holiday season with record breaking console sales and software sales, selling 9.5 million units from october 2024 to december 2024. PS5 has sold 4 million units in november 2024 meaning they sold more units in a single month than Xbox did during the whole year.
Many people haven't noticed this, but Xbox has completely stopped marketing their consoles since last year. No holiday sales, bundles, discount...
Xbox was also out of stock multiple times in different countries, like due to low supply.
They are clearly moving on.

I am one of the r-slurs who bought the Sexbox Series S*x, its just lying there doing nothing. Probably will hand it over to my 5yr old nephew. Its literally pointless to buy if you have PC.

I bought one primarily for media because I've been getting into collecting physical media lately, ever since I started noticing things, I decided to refuse to own nothing and be happy. Great blu ray player.
It has become that, plus occasional couch gaming for Diablo, Dark Pictures Anthology, and some digital games I had owned on the Xbox platform. Also occasionally pop in backwards compatible games I have the discs for from the 360 days.
It's rarely used though outside of a media player. I can count the times I game on it yearly on both hands and that's mostly just older exclusive Xbox stuff I can't play on my PC, for a couple hours to scratch an itch.
The real couch gaming move was setting up a nice little 2.5 gigabit home network and streaming Steam to my Apple TV.
