I would not be surprised if SE let XBOX announce 7.0 along with XBOX joining at the Fanfest where Phil Spencer (head of XBOX division at MS) joins Yoshi P on stage to announce XBOX will be joining the game.
Where are you getting the information that this will finally happen? Everything I read makes it sound like it's still copium among Xbox players that SE and Microsoft have managed to come to some sort of agreement that will make it possible.

Not everyone has a PC so the last statement isn't really relevant.

As for how many players it would bring to the game if it happened and whether they would choose to start on Dynamis? Not likely unless SE locks down character creation on all the other NA worlds for launch. Xbox players tend to be competitive and competitive players don't want to be on "dead worlds".
