Now that's an interesting fact that I would like to check. By any chance do you have a link for that? I tried to find it, but all I got was an article from Dec, 2017 where their senior analyst said, "I think the PS4 will probably get to 100 million in 2019."

Turns out that the unreliable analysis came from IHS. They had the PS4 at a flat 53m despite Sony's announcement of 53.4m.

So this means IDC can't be discredited based on the specific precedence linked above, but merely based on the maths for their current figures; Japan accounting for 0.3% of global Xbox One sales simply doesn't add up.

Cool, thanks for the reply.

As for the .03% discrepancy.. well, it doesn't add up if we take Famitsu's numbers as the absolute truth, but we know for a fact that Famitsu have been adjusting their PS4/Switch's numbers in a regular basis, every time official numbers are revealed; which hasn't happened for the X1 in quite a few years. So I think is fair to assume that their X1 numbers MIGHT not be as accurate as the others.
