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. 

Yep. It certainly makes sense for me.

Don't think it is the case, but could be X1 and mainly X1X used on the farms for the Xcloud portion (but considering MS mention on their capability on UK, I don't think there were more than 1M X1 on their farms even if we count WW).

Wait, are you saying that Xbox is counting the units they use for their servers as units sold?

The slide wasn't about units sold, it just say "console", which I understand as system shipped (and sure in the case of X1 would be equal to bought by end users, and perhaps in use on the farms, while for Series it would also have some amount on transit to store) or sold - the slide itself doesn't clarify the source or definition. And as I said, even if counting systems on farm, by MS admission of support on UK I don't think there is more than 1M X1 and 100k Series X used for XCloud at the moment. Was just trying to put some ideas on the 7M gap, since the USA+Canada+UK we have strong numbers and they make most of the Xbox market.
