Let me ask you a question, why do they need to tell people their hardware sales? Why do you need the numbers?

The Series X is sold out world wide, there would be a no better time to showcase their sale figures, but they choose to not show them. Maybe MS don't plan on making as many XSXs than Sony is with PS5s. I dunno, and i am surprised people still need to know these figures, unless you have shares with the business. There is no point in knowing. Its like when i buy a new hat at a hat store, i don't care how many hats they sold. Just like when i buy a console, i don't care how many consoles they sell, unless i am a fanboy and want to brag about console sales and to put others down and devalue a brand which is all that happens with this info.

I was beaten to it, but this is a strange thing to post on a site that is primarily about tracking the sales of gaming consoles. Some of us simply find numbers, facts, and statistics about our interests to be intriguing and fun to discuss.

According to Phil to start giving the hardware numbers even if they were winning would only distract the division, still the real reason for not starting to giving them is it doesn't suit the narrative they are pushing, and even though he knew that there was no danger of that winning scenario happening it suited his message to use it.
