MS has confirmed the Xbox Series is 21m+ units.

They also confirmed the Xbone is 58m+ units.

I'm seeing that is from an ID@Xbox presentation at BIG Festival in Brazil. So this looks the most official data we've had in a long time from Microsoft. But also odd they would share actual figures now after so many years of silence. 

It does show we at VGChartz are pretty close with the Xbox Series X|S as we have it just hitting 22M at the end of May. Though, we don't know when this data is up to. As they share figures quarterly it could be through March? Since the current quarter isn't over yet and 21M+ could be up to 21.99M. 

As far as Xbox One I'll talk with Machina to figure out a game plan. We know Xbox One hit 10M in holiday 2014 and EA estimated it at ~19M at the end of 2015. VGC estimates has Xbox One at 10.72M at the end of 2014 and 19.23M at the end of 2015. So those figures should be fairly close. So adjustments would need to be done for 2016 and later. Right now we have Xbox One estimates at 51.26M. The main thing is figuring out where we are undertracked as we've gotten data for most of the world. Latin America, Asia, MEA, Oceania, and Other Europe are the places we get the least amount of data for.
