WW shipped vs. US sold through ratio as of March 2014 was:
49.5% US
50.5% WW
and that was with 13 regions only
right now Xbox One is at over 40
i'm still sceptical, but this could be true
The thing is that Microsoft made sure to never publish any numbers in the last 3 years and now we just randomly get them on some run-of-the-mill info brochure from an insignificant Xbox branch?
I mean nothing is impossible, but it's not easy to be not doubtful.

Sort of, it doesn't say 'leaked', just that it came from house of fans.

MS clearly outlined up to a certain point of time how many 360 and XB1 consoles they planned on shipping every quarter. Not really sure what you want me to break down.
It's becoming fairly obvious that you've never looked at sales figures for more than a few minutes and think the idea of questioning an unverified source whose data doesn't match the large majority of other data we have including projections by major third party publishers such as EA is basically akin to me doing napkin math and pushing a conspiracy theory.
Fucking lol.
No kidding. Look how many people are using their 'feelings' to determine the number is too high. 36 million+ for Xbox One? "No... that's not true! That's impossible!"
US and Canada the sales are strong, same goes for UK. Plus Microsoft does well in Mexico and Australia. They may not do well in the rest of Europe like the PS4 but you have regions like Brazil and China etc. If PS4 is over 60 million+, I can buy Xbox One is 36.2 million. I thought it was around 33 million myself. Could be sold through or shipped etc. Microsoft did say for a long time it was selling better than Xbox 360 was. Who knows. I know a lot of people who bought one solely to use as a cheap UHD blu-ray player than any gaming device.

Make sense now why the numbers are kinda off
The plot thickens
For 2017, afaik they are.
And those are definitely shipped numbers, and overestimated shipped numbers, or stuffed channels.
Edit : Oh lol, it's Xbox Anywhere, haha, yea, don't pay attention to those numbers.
Well, if we can't even be sure if those numbers are indeed from Microsoft France, then the thread title should be changed to " [Rumour] 36.2 Millions of Xbox One sold worldwide"

Why is your ratio shipped WW vs. sold-through US?
Shouldn't you do shipped or sold through for both?

They must be going incredibly well in Latin America. That's one Market that is largely ignored by SalesGAF.
Edit: I guess I should add a "if true" qualifier.
Edit: I guess I should add a "if true" qualifier.
The hardware figures don't seem that outlandish though and the historical figures seem likely accurate and updated.
The best way to try and disprove might be with the software figures maybe. Like do any of them correlate to Chartz or something?
With huge multinationals things like this often do slip between the cracks of regional offices. Skepticism is healthy but I also don't think there's any silver bullet here to logically discount the leak. It's sort of too reasonable for that.

I think that ratio tells you the US/WW split of shipped/sold consoles (my interpretation) => half of all Xboxes this gen are sold in the US.
Might be but that's a really odd number to throw out there.
Why would we trust SuperData over MS France? IF this is really coming from MS France, of course.

they are ~1.6:1 for January - April 2017 according to Neogaf estimates and number crunching

So that's a no then, you can't break down how IR figures correlate to shipment ceiling after MS changed their accounting to MAU? Not surprising.
Other than EA (whose estimates one must also apply fuzzy math to to get XBO numbers, EA has never given an XBO figure) which 3rd parties have given any XBO or XBO+PS4 sales projections and what were they?
Any other bullshit you'd like to try and peddle while we're at it?

The other image is even more interesting.
I found the source of this, it's this article:
http://www.visualcapitalist.com/chart-5-tech-giants-make-billions/
So it's not even official MS numbers, I dunno how accurate this is and how credible is this website.

SuperData is unreliable to begin with data wise.

Figured they were at about 30 million and 36 million means probably not to customers. either way seems like they doing good
Source: Wikipedia France?
https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_One
According to Wikipedia France:
WW: 36.2 millions
US: 18,40 millions
EU: 11.0 millions
UK: 4.20 millions
France: 1.502.324

SuperData is a VG Chartz spinoff. So no.

Positive Xbox news? We need to call downplay brigade!
Lol, nice.
It links to VG-Chartz ...
Oh, lol, nevermind. These are ALL VGC numbers!

Except for the fact this is actually fake news... no idea what the actual number is but its pretty obvious this isn't official.

The numbers don't match a lot of other data estimates and sources we're familiar with that, such as EA's reporting, etc. The reasons to look at these numbers further for scrutiny is valid.

Fucking lol
The numbers are confirmed bullshit, but EA's also never given an XBO specific estimate either. That's part of the problem, people need to keep applying apples to oranges to get to any real numbers.

Really cannot see them having shifted 11m units in Europe outside of UK, France and Germany.

So let me get this straight. Despite having data for MSs biggest markets (that are up to date), and quarterly shipments up until MS changed to MAU as a metric, you want me to disprove this number wrong with current as of now ratios rather than the other way around? The burden of proof isn't on me to show you that MS made a gigantic fucking turn around in countries that data doesn't get reported in. That's not how that works.
Like it doesn't strike you as odd that MSs biggest territory is losing 10-15% share in sales? Holy shit. I'm peddling bullshit?
Yea, how about you stop being dense.
Edit: Oh, numbers confirmed bullshit. Wow, man, I can't believe I was peddling that bullshit about the numbers not adding up. Someone stop me and my napkin math. I went too far. 🙄

Wouldn't surprise me, the random "The day one model of the Xbox One didn't ship with an HDMI out" was really weird.

I can believe that number is shipped, but not sold through. My guess would be like 28 million? Maybe less?
Tales from my ass though, just an offhand guess.
