The decline in Xbox sales has raised concerns about the future of the platform. Industry analysts speculate that Microsoft may have sold around 25 million Xbox Series X/S consoles to date, putting it behind the Nintendo 64 in terms of sales. Microsoft, however, remains committed to the hardware market and has promised a significant technological leap with its next-generation console. The company also emphasizes its dedication to backwards compatibility and game preservation. Despite the sales challenges, Microsoft is considering alternative strategies, including expanding its presence on other platforms, to reach a wider gaming audience.
