They know (or think ?) they won't outsell the PS5, so they're making the current statement. But if ever the tables turn, I'm pretty sure they will disclose actual numbers.

Heck, they spend the whole generation not giving any actual sales number nor profit for the Xbox division, that's says a lot.

Yeah, that is what I believe as well.

Congrats and yes would be good to see the numbers. And to say they don't care about the sales would be say they wouldn't even say it now. So yes they want to sell but they avoid telling the number because it was low.On the presence, even Phil said it was bound to production capacity, and with MS having more money if PS5 outsell Xbox on the release them there is no excuse, MS produced less because their forecast was smaller since they expect to sell less than PS5.

Basically he is saying that preventively so people don't ask if they aren't saying the numbers because they are selling less than Sony.
