Update:
Despite Microsoft only showing an image of the Xbox Series X in the post they have told The Verge senior editor Tom Warren the program was done with Xbox One X consoles and not Xbox Series X.
"This pilot program was conducted with Xbox One X consoles," said a Microsoft representative.
Microsoft tells me "This pilot program was conducted with Xbox One X consoles," and not Xbox Series X as Microsoft's image implies. Nothing to see here :)

Original article:
Microsoft is well into producing its next-generation video game console, the Xbox Series X, as it will be launching in just over two months in November 2020. We have yet to get an exact release date or price.
Microsoft in its "By the Numbers Sustainability" news post on page five revealed they have produced 825,000 units of the Xbox Series X, as spotted by Twitter user Wario64.
"Xbox has created the world's first carbon-neutral gaming console - actually, 825,000 of them," reads the post. "The consoles are part of a pilot program for more ambitious corban neutral-hardware goals."
The Xbox One sold a little over one million units during its launch week. Therefore, having 825,000 units of the Xbox Series X already produced is a good sign for a strong launch of the console.
Looks like 825,000 units of Xbox Series X has been produced...so far? https://t.co/nD98Mx5ft1 pic.twitter.com/ioXm0g22CG

825 seems to be a hot number. Carbon neutral consoles, total SSD capacity. Hopefully not console pricing.
That should just about be enough units to meet demand on launch day in Japan.
Microsoft can be happy if they sell 825k units lifetime in Japan ^^
how many are they suppose to make for the holidays though? haha
Looks like it's a number from last year.
Wow, what a PR blunder.
Yeah producing environmentally responsible consoles is terrible
Downvote me now, but I have no idea what all that means and it's not really your fault. S, X Series, One, my goodness, Microsoft is certainly on a roll with their nomenclature. I know those that know..you know, know. But for casuals like me it's a whole lot to parse.
