Hope they finally reveal some XOne numbers, instead of the "were doing just fine, thank you!"

they will always reveal some xbox numbers.
just not the numbers, consolewarrior want for theire fight. and that's a good thing. beside fanboys and pr statements, no1 cares about absolute unit sales numbers anymore in the industry. ea, activsion and ubisoft didn't stop to give out numbers because they were bad. they stopped, because it's not gen 6 anymore. selling a copy and be forgotten does not make you money in the long term.

Xbox hardware revenue decreased 9%, mainly due to a decline in Xbox 360 console volume. Xbox One revenue decreased slightly, due to higher console volume, offset by lower prices of consoles sold. 

they sold in more xbox ones q4cy2015 compared to holiday 2014
ms sold 6.6m xbox consoles in q4cy2014 (xbox one and 360 hardware)
my best guess: xbox one hardware units were up, but total xbox hardware units were slightly down

But I still would like some concrete numbers, not the "we are doing better than 1 year before".I mean, that would also be good, but the best is that if we know official concrete numbers.And I dont want those numbers just for some stupid fanboy or console war.I want to know it because I like to know how well the companies are doing, for better or for worse.This is one of the reasons that I(and many here I assume) came to the site in the first place:To know how well their beloved franchise/companies/consoles are doing.And nothing would satisfy me more than some numbers.Thats it.

I find quite astonishing that the first thing people thought about my comment was that I wanted the numbers was just to start some console wars nonsense
