Today, Microsoft still struggles to sell consoles in Japan. Of the 46.9 million Xbox Ones sold worldwide through the second quarter of 2019, just 0.3% of them have been in Japan, according to the International Data Corporation.

According to Famitsu. XBOX ONE sold 108,000 in Japan (as of September 2019.)

108,000 ÷ 0,003 = 36,000,000

Yep, as Oneee-Chan!!! has posted above the numbers make zero sense. Even in the best case scenario that 0.3% is rounded from 0.25%.

If Japan equals 0.3% of total sales as the article says that would put global sales at 36m.

If the 0.3% is rounded from 0.25% then that would put global sales at 43.2m still markedly below the figure they give.

They give two figures that don't make any sense when verified through Famitsu, a much more reliable source. Even when given the benefit of the doubt to the most extreme degree possible.

In other words the articles numbers are inaccurate.
