Depending on who you ask. EA had PS4 and XB1 combined sales at 79 million by the end of 2016. Subtract the PS4's 53.4m sales from EA's estimate, you get 25.6m for the XB1. However, you are assuming that Sony and EA used the similar methodologies to arrive at their numbers. IHS Markit and SuperData had the XB1 selling 27.6m and 26m, respectively, by the end of 2016.

Maybe about a mil more, who knows. |
We might get an update from EA during their next earnings call (like they did in 2016) or the one after (like they did last year).
