Article feels weirdly biased, an Xbox mid-gen update has been talked about for over a year and is expected in the next like 4-6 months. Anyone in the market for a current gen Xbox is likely to consider that and may decide to postpone their purchase until then, making sales artificially lower than demand for an Xbox. The article doesn't even mention it, instead talking about even more speculative hardware that isn't likely more than some R&D project, if that.
You can see similar effects for PS4 sales when the PS5 was announced, sales cratered. Can't tell too much with the PS4 to PS4 pro because they announced close to actual release.

The mid-gen console will be called Xbox 360 Series Two.
Mid-gen PS5 and Xbox series are both expected in the next 12 months, the Switch successor is probably going to drop in a similar time frame.
Hardware sales will be suppressed for all console platforms.
