The success of the dual console strategy can't really be judged in pure hardware sales and certainly not by what gamers on enthusiast boards think of it. That might be what they are prepping the market for (moving to a $350/$600 price points or something like that down the road). Though if they refresh the innards there or flip the S to the XSX hardware or a modern approximation or it (replacing the XSX with something more powerful), they might be able to keep that $350 price tag. The $50 upsell on the 1TB model is a strange thing, if anything they'll want to slide the original XSS hardware down to $250 to give it a little more room to breath when the $400 PS5 becomes the dominant/only model available. I doubt they'd even consider it, wouldn't be much upside. Dropping software support burns the people that bought it too much, they would have basically pulled a Sega at that point. They could technically discontinue the XSS without disrupting anything if they wanted, but they would need to continue supporting it throughout the generation regardless (maintaining that it is mandatory for any game that appears on XSX).
