I'm working on adjustments to put our estimates more inline with available CESA data, as well as lowering places with limited data.

Before adjustments:

• 2020: 3,005,468
• 2021: 8,071,946 (Total: 11,077,414)
• 17 month total (Mar 2022): 13,073,264
• 18 month total (Apr 2022): 13,563,270
• LTD thru Nov 2025: 34,101,321

After adjustments:

• 2020: 2,950,468
• 2021: 7,769,246 (Total: 10,719,714)
• 17 month total (Mar 2022): 12,700,464
• 18 month total (Apr 2022): 13,190,470
• LTD thru Nov 2025: 33,728,521

• Global: 33.73M
• US: 17.38M
• US % of global: 51.5%

We can't go any lower in 2020 or 2021 as we know the Xbox Series X|S is the fastest selling Xbox through the end of 2021 and in June 2022. We have the Xbox Series X|S barely ahead of the Xbox One now at the end of 2021. Though we do have the Xbox Series X|S lead grow in most of 2022 before we have it falling behind at the end of the year. So that leaves a little bit of room in 2022.

Links to Microsoft saying Xbox Series X|S is fastest selling Xbox:

End of 2021: Phil Spencer: Xbox Series X|S Remains the Fastest-Selling Xbox Ever

June 2022 (Based on Microsoft's fiscal year, which ends in June): Microsoft CEO: Xbox Series X|S Remains the Fastest-Selling Xbox Console Ever

Wow

Xbox series is that much dependent on the USA for the total sales to exceed 50m milestone.

Go Microsoft, push it! 

You can double US sales to get a rough idea of worldwide figures for Xbox. Mind you it would be FAR easier if Microsoft provided quarterly shipment figures like Sony and Nintendo do.
