I came to the conclusion that these are not numbers provided by Microsoft. Looking into the graphic the spec is referencing a PC GPU card which would be really unlikely that Microsoft would do such a thing in such a graphic. They would talk about AMD GCN and thats it.
In other words I doubt it that the numbers are correct. That said I have no idea where the numbers are / should be.

Ok, so which one of you edited the Wiki page to say 36 million?

Absolutes? Don't put words in my mouth. I stated the data doesn't mesh with numbers we have. That data being the recent NPD, UK, JP and other market sales data alongside whatever was the last known ratio of the various markets.
You attempted to shift the burden of proof production on me as if me saying that it's highly unlikely the US was not going to be under 50% share was something ridiculous.
You chose a shitty hill to defend. That's not my problem.

the wiki page
the infographic just says "36.2 million sold worldwide"
the article just says "Xbox has sold 36.2 million according to the Xbox House of Fans"
so basically, we still have no idea where these numbers came from.
yes I know, see the edit

SonyGAF is on a meltdown this week. You would have thought someone killed their parents or something.
It's still close to half of PS4. MS wouldn't be disclosing this figure generally even if it was real.

Pathetic. A console that isn't Sony sells really well and some of you still want to find a way to downplay it.
EA does not have access to the actual numbers. They use Sony's fiscal reports + guesstimates from MS to come to a low end figure for their estimates. They aren't using MS's internal figures. And saying this is 'via a fan website' seems misleading, no? Just because it was posted on a fan website does not mean it was sourced to random posters at said website. Afaik we are still in the dark on the source. We should wait until we sort that out before people get up in arms over the numbers one way or the other.

The 360 number is way off (low), so I'm guessing this is just fan speculation.

Only when Sony quotes Wikipedia or VG Chartz for their sales numbers, which they have never done...

Too much for your mind to handle because you love Sony or...?

This should be fun.
There should a title update then, because its very misleading that it says MS France, but actually is something else

You're stating they don't mesh based on a 3 year old ratio. You're piling current sellthrough estimates on to a shipment figure from back when the console had only released in 13 markets for about 7 months. In reality what you're doing isn't much different from VGC's methodology (ie: guesswork based on public sources with some personal ballparking). And then you try tried to sideline things with statements about non-existent 3rd part estimates and magic IR to shipment ceilings and this bizarre burden of proof strawman.
That's all your problem, not mine. You can't even explain your figures and you're claiming this one's impossible. And now it turns out it's probably not even from VGC.
Can someone here with twitter just ask MS France via a tweet? Or even just ask Phil Spencer? Maybe we will get lucky and someone will respond and disown the infographic (or not).

Seems like you are too emotionally invested in this if I am being honest.
Except for Halo 2, none of the numbers in the OP match VGC.There should a title update then, because its very misleading that it says MS France, but actually is something else
This would be ideal.
Eu without UK France and Germany is at 11 ML? How is it even possible?

the US numbers are 2 million off alone

Of course EA have actual numbers. You don't think they plan their projects and haggle over marketing deals based on guesswork, do you? Really? They have access to much more sales data than ever reaches our eyes.
It seems highly liked the figure came from wikipedia, too much of a coincidence otherwise. Where that figure came from and when, well go check through the page's history if you really wish to detective it, but the lack of credibility for the figure is in no doubt. And nobody is up in arms bar those who are upset that a number of SalesGAF in here don't see anything likely in the 36.2m figure and a few citing "SonyGAF" hurt feels idiocy.

Fake numbers, Japan isn't even 80K.
Didn't Sony themselves just last week announce over 60 million sold?
That sounds like a very fanboyish thing to say.
Gaf Sales age doubting the info because it flies in the face of even the most optimistic estimates (including shipped) = Sonygaf having a meltdown? Right.

I can never stop laughing at the term sonygaf lol.
Then you'll know the veracity of these numbers is dubious.
For them to be correct MS would have had to sell 10m consoles in the last 6 months. They would be shouting it from the rooftops if they had managed that.
Its not. XBox One is likely at less than 2 millions in France, same in Germany.
