Yeah, I don't believe what Microsoft says.

They're closer to 5 million sold than 10 million. I don't know why they keep tossing around this "almost 10 million shipped" number. It's obviously a PR stunt to skew public perception of their console in the holiday season.

Vgchartz isn't 100% accurate but I don't believe they're that far off. ~6.7m seems about right give or take a few hundred thousand.

Them outselling the PS4 for 3 weeks in the UK is possible though but it must not have been by very much.

This is no MS pr
It's form MCV

Maybe you should read the whole article?

"""We’re seeing fantastic momentum with Xbox One having sold almost 10 million units to retailers worldwide,” said Xbox UK marketing director Harvey Eagle.

“This momentum is reflected in the UK, particularly over the last three weeks, which is extremely encouraging as we approach the Christmas shopping period. People buy consoles to play the best games, and Xbox One is home to the best games. Halo: The Master Chief Collection is one of the highest rated next-gen console games released, Sunset Overdrive is the highest rated new franchise on any next-gen console and Forza Horizon 2 is the highest rated driving game on any next gen console.

"We have an excellent line up of games to look forward to in 2015, including Quantum Break, Fable Legends and of course Halo 5: Guardians. With some great deals to be had on the high street, now really is the best time to be an Xbox One owner."""

That's textbook Microsoft PR arrogance and all.
