There was a thread about it a few days ago. That's probably where it came from. I can't remember who it was but they estimated 60k Australia wide. It was a very rough estimation, to be fair to him.

Yep, definitely good numbers.  But, like you said, the launches aren't very comparable.  The XBX is pretty much all MS has been talking about for over a year, while Sony launched the Pro just a few weeks after its announcement.  It's been heavily promoted for months, now.  The XBX was basically launched as a new console, constantly touting the most powerful system in the world.  Xbox fans disappointed in the PS4 being more powerful than the OG XBO were sure to jump on board, if only for the bragging rights.

And they definitely have much more stock for it, seeing as Sony underestimated the demand for the Pro at launch.  The X is still in stock at Amazon UK.  Though, it has started to slip in the hourlies.  It may go back up, or it may point to front-loaded sales.

Oh wow! Didnt know my country is quite strong for MS. 

Its possible that we are comparing shipped numbers to shipped here.

GfK tracks consoles sold to consumers.

That's great. I am truly happy to see big sales numbers.

With that said, I wonder what it would have been like if Halo 6 launched on the same day, with a month or so of marketing the two leading up to launch.

I've been told 2-3 times that even makes up 1/3 of the market there. It was a rough estimate 

I know.. but i'm stating that at least in the case of the Switch they sold the maximum number and were limited by shipments.

Pubg hits next month but that's most likely timed for 6months- a year

For all the talk of no games I think 2018 is shaping up quite nicely(to be fair a lot of delays fell into 2018)

in the first half crackdown, SOD2, and ashen(big indie). Around the middle of the year sea of theives. Towards the end forza horizon 4, and ori 2. Assuming halo is still on a 3 yr dev cycle that should come in the holidays.

then there's the big multiplats that are coming. Far cry 4 in spring, anthem and rdr2 around summer, battlefield in the holidays. Cyberpunk as well? Probably not. But you can be sure ms will be beating their chest saying how these games play and look best on the x.

I think about halo 6 too. I'm sure it would make people upgrade but I doubt it would push any pc/PS4 guys to buy an Xbox. Those people would have switched over by now. Pubg however is coming next month. Don't doubt it's power to move consoles. Look at how well fortnite is doing. Constantly at the top of the most played chart. And the thing about pubg is the difference between the x and s version is going to be absolutely massive. Like the difference between playing it on low settings(s) and high(x). In other words one version looks like a mid gen Xbox 360 game.
