So.. CNBC says Xbox has sold 46.9 WW, any thoughts?

Selling hardware inherently improves software sales, if software sales are what really matters, then selling hardware is what really matters too. You can't sell software without selling hardware. Which is why XBO software sales are less than half of PS4's.

VGC software figures for end of 2018 are 652m for PS4 and 295.5m for XBO.

Can't use official figures for Xbox because Microsoft don't give out figures that make them look worse.

You can't be a software beast when you have a low install base.

40 million plus consoles is not a low install base.

That depends on perspective. Relatively it is low. It's half their previous console, the average PlayStation home console sells 112m and it's one of 3 current video game systems on the market that is going to be outsold 2:1 by both of the others.

Whether you compare it to it's peers or it's predecessor, it's low.
