I know they did. But in the recent past one MS rep (I think it was even Phil) posted on Twitter sales number that were taken (and credited) from VGC.

The slide itself didn't had a source I guess (like when Sony gives sales number and put the source as internal tracking or anything like that).

Oh I remember what you’re talking about now! It started with someone like Jeff Grubb I think it was posting VGC estimates of Xbox Series consoles and it began to spread on Twitter so much that it got a retweet from Aaron and Phil. So props to Trunks for sure that he’s that close on console estimates for having so little public data available. 

Yep it was something like that. Some may have even thought MS was giving real numbers when they didn't notice it was referencing VGC. And for me if MS was retweeting it, the numbers must have been pretty close to what they had internally (I think it mentioned only Series at the time and not X1).
