For the first time in years, we have an Xbox shipment number.

For the Q4 2022 calendar period, Xbox shipped 3.2M consoles compared to PS5's 7.1M

Shout out to the closest thing we'll get to annual Xbox shipments numbers.

Using my expert Paint skills, I added lines at the major increments.

Looks like Xbox moved just over 10M units of consoles each of the two years.

This may be a 3rd party analyst though, does anyone know who/what Keystone is?

Edit

I'll put them on blast if I have to

If the consoles sales graph is from Keystone Analytics, NEVER use them again. They can't even use public data from Sony and Nintendo AND Microsoft correctly.

It's actually embarrassing if those numbers are all Keystone's.

Unfortunately, those 3rd party analyst numbers seem too good to be true. If Xbox had actually shipped 7m consoles in 2020, 10m+ in 2021, and 10m+ in 2022, for 27m+ total, we could use VGC XB1 sales data for those 3 year to extrapolate a XB1/XS split of 3.1m or so XB1 and 24m+ Xbox Series shipped between 2020 and 2022. If Xbox had actually shipped 24m+ before the end of 2022, all 24m+ would have been sold through to consumers by now plus some 2023 shipped units sold through as well, and yet VGC and most other 3rd party analysts are only tracking around 22-23m Xbox Series units sold as of now.
