I've adjusted the Xbox One estimates to match the ~58M figure that was revealed by Microsoft. Also adjusted Xbox Series X|S down ~50K so it matches the 3.2M figure for Q4 2022. I've updated all recent monthly articles.

It was officially revealed at a Microsoft event that the Xbox One + Series has 79 million combined. also it was said that the xbox series has 21 million sales so the xbox one sold 58 million more than i expected and almost half the sales of the ps4

well the One still outsold the SNES, so it was in 3rd place, but still worked out ok for them

Looks like after recent sales data that was leaked today that Series S/X is over tracked here. MS states 21M.

Nintendo definitely got the Zelda bounce for hardware sales. Good business practice. Switch in 7th year is dropping slower than Xbox in 3rd year. Funny.

After the merger Microsoft really needs to hit hard.
