After Take 2 announced that there is 77M next gen consoles, we can see, that Xbox is in a great position to go 3rd party.

Imagine the world, where to sell 21M is not a good news?
Xbox right now
21 million is still a big success.
That's not good at all. Cancelling factions cost them big time.
It bears repeating, but Nintendo getting out of the Triple A race has been the best decision they've ever made.
On the hardware side both Xbox and PlayStation are simply too expensive in the current economy and doesn't look like it's going to improve any time soon.
Software development in the triple A space has ballooned in cost significantly in the last 5 years, this is really not help profit margins at all.
Also, I would prepare for layoffs relative soon: https://www.gematsu.com/2024/02/son...xisting-franchise-titles-before-march-31-2025
In no way is missing your forecast by a whole 4 million a big success.
Also there's a possibility they don't even hit that new forecast because they're at 16,4M right now and that would mean selling 4.6M in Q4 after a 8.2M in Q3 which is not at all a guarantee.
Jim Ryan was def shown the door earlier this year, they would've had the forecasts that things were heading this way
It would've surely been slated to release FY March 2024-April 2025 for sure, that leaves another big hole for software which will not help hardware sales next FY.

What console do you know of in the past or present that selling 21M isn't a huge success?
Success is always relative to expectations given through forecasts to the shareholders and how well any corporation performed compared to them.
That 21M forecast in total for the FY is still an aggressive target that will not be easy to achieve either.
Sony should have abandoned EA, Ubisoft, Take 2 and Square to release their AAA games on PC and that's it? Sony is not the only ones making demanding games. The whole industry will just die if consoles are not powerful enough to run these games.
Denial is thinking that missing a sales forecast by 4M units is ok since it was ambitious.
No, they missed it because they fucked up with nothing last year other than Spider-Man 2, while releasing a handful of PC ports.
It finally caught up with them, and Jimmy retired just in time to not have egg blow on his face

That's not an answer to my question. This isn't about relativity. This is about what console do you know of in the past or present where 21M units sold in a FY isn't a big success?
