VGChartz Methodology: Hardware estimates are based on retail sampling and trends in individual countries, which are then extrapolated to represent the wider region. This typically allows us to produce figures that end up being within 10% of the actual totals.
This data is regularly compared against official shipment figures released by the console manufacturers and figures estimated by regional trackers with greater market coverage than ourselves. We then update our own estimates to bring them into line with those figures. This can result in frequent changes often within a short space of time, but we feel it's important to prioritise accuracy over consistency.
Note that our estimates are based on sell-through data (units sold to consumers). In almost all cases the figures released by console manufacturers are based on shipment data (sell-in), where as soon as a device has left the factory and entered the supply chain for delivery it is considered a sale. This is why there is always a difference between the companies’ figures (sell-in) and VGChartz estimates (sell-through), even after we’ve made adjustments. The one exception to that is when a console has been discontinued and the remaining stock has finally sold out – at that point the figures will match.

Did.... Did people actually buy an Xbox after the PlayStation killing disks announcement? lol
The timeline doesn't add up so I'm really confused what happened lol
Xbox Series X was supply constrained in June 2025 and there was a minor discount at Walmart for the Series X ($573) for most of June 2026. Best Buy and Target price matched for part of the month as well. Plus the next price increase was announced on June 25.
It's because the upcoming price hike in August
Starting August Xbox sales are likely done for good
PlayStation's announcement was made on July 1.
The sales figures are for the month of June. So, no…😉
Crazy month for xbox
Good month for Xbox!
Price increase goes into effect for Xbox on August 1st, makes sense that it was going to get a boost prior to that. Afterwards however, it's not going to be pretty.
It is quite interesting to see that Xbox is very much alive, at least in the US market.
