Microsoft had previously provided install base as of the end of 2021 with Sony at 151.4 million and Xbox at 63.7 million. In order for Sony to be 151.4 million you would need to add PS5, PS4, and PS Vita together. So I would think this new data from Microsoft is including PlayStation Vita sales.

Them including Vita doesn't line up with the Japan ratio of 96/4 though. PS5+PS4 vs XSX+XBO already gets a 96/4 ratio in Japan like they state.

If you add in the over 5m sales from the Vita as well the ratio for Japan would drop below 97/3.

PS5+PS4 = 12,226,985 (95.7%)
XBO+XSX = 538,097 (4.3%)

PS5+PS4+Vita = 18,090,007 (97.1%)
XBO+XSX = 538,097 (2.9%)

Yeah good point. Not mentioning the consoles included in the marketshare figures is a bit annoying. For all we know it could be including PS2 to PS5 and OG Xbox to Xbox Series. though that would likely give PlayStation an even bigger marketshare in Japan.
