When it comes to reporting official sales figures for the Xbox One specifically, Microsoft has been silent since Q4 Holiday 2014, when it reported over 10 million systems had shipped to retailers worldwide. While Microsoft has still remain tight-lipped on sales numbers, manufacturing records from china have shown that 46 million Xbox One Family devices had been shipped as of March 5th, 2019. A far cry from it's competitor which is closing in on selling in excess of 100 million devices within the next 2 months.
Further Analysis
Updated information shows the PS4 Family of devices with around 70% percent of the home Interactive gaming marketshare. This drops to 57% when we include the recent entrant from gaming giant Nintendo, with their hybrid Switch gaming console.

The GWI report for the gaming industry goes into some great detail about what's happening in the industry. However, the new report (subs only) doesn't really say anything new or mentions anything that hasn't really been leaked or brought out by another outlet.

Keep in mind these are shipped numbers so we don't really know what sold is, 46 million shipped is still a decent number. I expect 1.5 million shipped from now until September, and around 5 million shipped or so from September to Dec.31st since it's Xbox's strongest quarter, putting it a bit over 50 million sold and maybe around 52 million shipped or so.
I think that it's on track for a 60 million sales total when all is said and done which isn't too shabby, especially with how the consoles started. But there's really not much more info in the report so we'll see what comes up.
