It's no secret that the PS4 is destroying the Xbox One in lifetime sales. This was mostly due to the Xbox One's DRM policy and the fact that it was $100 more expensive, but a weaker console. Even thought MS later went back on the DRM, the damage had already been done. Microsoft killed a lot of marketshare gained from the Xbox 360.
Fast forward to today. Xbox is now lead by Phil Spencer, who took the reigns from Don Mattrick. Under Phil, we got backwards compatibility, Xbox One X, Game Pass, among other things. It just feels that Phil Spencer is much more in touch with what the core gamer wants that Don Mattrick was. With Microsoft acquiring a bunch of development studios, they're making a genuine effort to produce some great exclusive content. And the next Xbox will likely be a beast spec wise.
With Phil Spencer leading the way, I think the next Xbox will beat PS5 in sales, at least in North America. Xbox struggles to find a big audience in Europe (outside of the UK) and especially Japan. But perhaps they can turn that around (at least in Europe). I think the future will be very bright for Xbox and Xbox fans.
