Since Microsoft does not provide shipment numbers, VGC's estimates are the next best thing for global numbers. The September figure was chosen to bring Xbox in line with the timeframe used by both Nintendo and Sony.
Just like with the recent PS5 poll, the ranges for the current Xbox in the poll remain the same. The low end may be a bit ridiculous by now, but it would be unfair to not serve the rampant hatred for Xbox here. Or rather, there's no good reason yet to increase the high end either, nor is there much of a point in condensing the ranges this early.
Below are the results from the previous two polls, the first one from October 2020, the second one from November 2021. A small improvement over the Xbox One was the most popular option both times, but the second time around the higher options gained notably at the expense of the lower options.
