Tracking ahead of the 360 means that we can use it for reference as to where its sales figures are (at a minimum anyway not maximum) so that's beneficial. But tracking ahead of the 360? That really changes the game when compared to the Xbox One. Microsoft really turned thigs around this gen.
Many people were saying even with the last few years improvements with games, services, and hardware with Xbox One S and X, that the damage was done and the Xbox Series would be struggling to over come the Xbox One taint, but it turns out Microsoft had managed to completely undo the damage tot he Xbox One, and had not only got back the base it lost so far, but is tracking ahead of their best selling console!
All this before Starfield and other major current gen only hitter drop. I expect cross-gen to en,d for Xbox at least, next year as the Xbox One was already discontinued long ago and has become irrelevant. I expect Halo Infinite to be the last larger cross-gen title especially for first-party.
As much as people had skepticism for Phil and friends it seems they really did manage to turn things around. It's incredibly astonishing how Xbox is in an entirely different place than it was just 2 years ago.
Xbox and Playstation may BOTH outdue their 360/PS3 sales this gen at the current rate.
