Yes, you are correct. That is the number they have sold to customers, soon.

Adjusting my 7.15 for an extra 70K above my 350K for 8 Nov week puts my estimate at 7.22 million sell through + 1.5 million on shelves puts Shipments at 8.72 million Shipped, add another 1.3 million shipped in the month following 8 Nov and that puts us at Xb one 10 million shipped first week of December. That's "shortly" to me.

In terms of the OP's claim 7.5 million is the top of the range of likely Xb one sell through, not the bottom.

I like how you guys changed your minds within a couple hours. You guys should be humbled to read the things i type

have you been humbled by a ouya yet?

If it´s not close to 8.5 by now MS and retailers are expecting some huge hollydays and BF sales.

Remember when MS announced 5 million sold to consumers back in August, then quickly took it down (probably because it was wrong)

Based on how it was selling throughout 2014, 5 million would have been too high (hence the post removal/edit), so in August, it was below 5 million. But let's run with that number anyway. 5 million as of August.

That means that anyone who believes its sold 7.5-8 million, right now, believes that it sold 2.5 to 3 million units in the last 2 months. Barely managed to scrape up 2 million sales in 8 months, but you believe it's done 3 million in 2 months. And not November/December, but September/October.

Let that sink in.

What I love about those debates is the point some people are making about shipped to store versus sold to customer from the MS perspective.... Since last time I checked beside the Microsoft store and retail MS store from the MS position shipped to store=sold... With at best a 90 day account receivable markup for the big name retail stores.. So you can pretty much say that by end of January MS will have effectively pocketed 10M worth of XBox One revenue and this is in itself is great news and of course we shall all be humbled...

10 Million sold in shortly can mean anything....

It can mean 9million sold now

Such a cryptic announcement

But its MS we're talkin about so I'm not surprised

I believe Sony lies about their numbers and the ONE is the current gen leader with 10M consoles sold.
