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). |
It was Aaron Greenberg that retweeted VGChartz. Specifically the ones that had Xbox Series compared to the Xbox 360. I think he did it twice. I don't think Phil Spencer retweeted VGChartz.
He never retweeted Xbox Series compared to Xbox One. We now know why. We had it undertracked.
Xbox Series is pretty close at least as they didn't provide a date so it could be as of March as quarterly tends to be when sales figures are posted even if it just internally and the June quarter hadn't ended yet. And it said 21M+ implying it is somewhere above 21M but below 22M.
