These are the year-on-year percentages of X|S hardware sales estimates, of their now closed fiscal year.

Which results in an average of -29.58% year-on-year in hardware.

That's an interesting and pretty close deviation from their official -22% number.

With many, at least 4, possible reasons behind it.

The price increase is the reason for why units sold are down more than the drop in revenue. 

Do you really think the price increase from back in May (May, June for full fiscal year) attributed to a 7.58% deviation in only two months?

I personally don't think so.

But this is no criticsm towards your estimates anyway, since Microsoft's data (or rather; not shared data) reeeally must be pain in the ... you know what.

Furhermore, it was leaked a while ago that Xbox "hardware revenue" obviously includes revenue from even Accessoires such as controllers, headsets, etc.

I still believe X|S are more likely overtracked than undertracked, but this appearantly is only my claim (backing up other claims/rumors).

Nonetheless, you're doing absolutely great and I appreciate your continued support of data!
