A news has just made the round again regarding Xbox Series sales:

In context with another news from Summer 2024:

https://www.installbaseforum.com/threads/aldora-intelligence-ps5-61-7m-xbs-28-3m-shipments-end-of-june-2024.3005/

... I think it may be a good time to consider the question of if X|S data is quite overtracked?

IF these data keep to be true or near truth, then even the most optimistic calculation of X|S sell-through as of December 31st, 2024 would be at 28m units max (if X|S didn't sell 1m units in December globally).

Those are estimates and the previous estimates of 77M from Take-Two through 2023 were later adjusted up to 81M. Plus it says November 2024 and it doesn't say when in November. Ther are also other places with estimates of 33M sold for Xbox Series through the end of 2024. We are more in the middle of the different places that have done estimates. And when figures finally leaked we had undertracked the Xbox One by nearly 8M. If we ever get official sales numbers from Microsoft we will adjust our own estimates to match.
