Next gen console update for PS5 And Xbox???

Watching Oddballs videos and he's noticed a regular influx of new players on Xbox. Who knows how many there really is, and if its enough to support a console port.
I suspect the skill of the devs left isn't in console area so it won't happen.

So how many pages are on the exploration squadron page in Xbox last time I looked it was 78 pages and that was a few months ago. So 780 active squadrons on console . Now compare that to 1366 pages or 13,660 squadrons on PC .
I use exploration as everyone sort of hands in exploration .
Admittedly not everyone is in a squadron and some squadrons are single players .
So we can take a min of 780 player
As Fdev won't release numbers we have to best guess??
So for Fdev to make any money selling EDO consoles for £60 ( going rate nowadays ) that would net them £46,800( if £20 = £22620) I don't think that cover the costs for development etc .
Now Fdev won't even release old paintjobs that are already around on Console that may catch some cash for Arx, let alone go into full development for say 1000 players ?
I would personally jump back into Xbox and praise Fdev in a heartbeat if they did but after what 3 years ? I don't think Fdev have the inclination or ability to do this

The console version of ED wasn't the first version that has stopped support as they stopped working on the mac version of ED in 2018.
