Some of the folks over at the installbase forums seem convinced the Xbox Series X|S can be at no more than 17-18 million lifetime at the end of 2022, but I am not sure where they would be getting those numbers. Granted, those posters were posting in a thread about PS5 sales

They likely believe that Ampere is reliable, the analyst firm that only had Xbox Series at 13m in June 2022. Thing is, Ampere in the past has always undertracked Xbox, I remember they once had Xbox numbers about 2m lower than other trackers like Zhuge, Welfare, and VGC had it. Also worth noting that Xbox execs have commented on tweets that were sourcing VGC sales numbers for Xbox and implied that the VGC numbers were close to accurate. There is no reason to believe Ampere's obvious lowball predictions. 



On 30 November, the President of CADE, Alexandre Cordeiro Macedo, was elected a member of the Competition Committee Bureau of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)—the first Brazilian to ever occupy the position. The election happened during a meeting of the Competition Committee held in Paris, France.

The Bureau—the steering group of the OECD Competition Committee—is elected from representatives to the committee's antitrust authorities. The group proposes working guidelines and discussion topics and offers the OECD secretariat detailed guidance on the committee's work plan, especially for management and planning purposes.

As a new member of the Bureau, President Cordeiro is expected to have a greater influence on the committee's decisions and a more active role in proposing antitrust public policies with a global scope.

According to Mr Cordeiro, "winning the election was a result of CADE's increased participation in the committee and continuous work to align Brazilian public policies with international best practices in a systematic, harmonious, and coherent way towards the OECD's excellence standards."

Guess they didn't get the memo that CADE is corrupt as fuck and Brazil is a poor ass country accepting tiny bribes /s.



OECD should've consulted the experts at VGChartz

I've been going through the data for 2021 through November and for the Switch to reach 880K would mean it had by far its best ever December in the UK. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S don't have anything really out of the ordinary based on what we know. We will have a better idea once the December monthly report comes out.

We know they are doing a side game in addition to the first campaign expansion for Infinite and the Battle Royale mode in co-development with Certain Affinity. We don't know yet if Halo: The Endless is the name of the first campaign expansion or the name of the side game. Probably the campaign expansion, since the Endless were just set-up as the new enemies in Infinite's main campaign. I would imagine the sidegame would be telling the story of some of the side characters before or during what Chief is doing during Infinite, maybe Arbiter or Alpha-Nine (the Halo 3 ODST squad who are Spartan 4's now), setting up how the rest of Chief's allies discover the location of the Zeta Halo so that Chief will get some reinforcements eventually in one of the later campaign expansions. We already know that Halo Wars 3 isn't happening, and I doubt they've revived Halo Mega Blocks, only but so many options for what the side game could be. 



Seeing speculation about how plain this box is, Lol.

Second Expansion: The next Forza Horizon 5 expansion will be included when it launches.

Could they be hiding the art for the 2nd unrevealed expansion? Or is it just a boring plain box?
