Since Sony announced that 18.5M PS4 were sold to consumers at the beginning of the year, the X1 is very likely overtracked. This also gives us an answer to what MS meant when it said "nearly 10 million X1's sold".

They never said that. They said "nearly 10 million shipped".

MS said "sold", but did not clarify if that meant to consumers or shipped. It was later confirmed that the company meant shipped.

MS only needs to clarify when they mean sold to consumers, and when they do mean that they are explicit about it, like Sony was with 18.5 million. When any of the big 3 says "sold" they mean shipped in to retail. It has been that way forever. So 90% of everyone who follows these things new the minute they announced "nearly 10 million" that they were talking shipped.
