Stop citing VGChartz
I was just talking today about Aaron Greenberg using shit for weird twitter promos and just like clockwork....
If MS is going to start celebrating sales then they should release numbers.
Edit:
Classic Greenberg right there
I really don't care in all honesty.They were shit then, they are shit now.
Video Game Charts, Game Sales, Top Sellers, Game Data - VGChartz
VGChartz - extensive game chart coverage, including sales data, news, reviews, forums, & game database for PS5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch & PCwww.vgchartz.com
so series will sell the same as the 360, even though its selling at 35% higher to date, and playstation will sell the same amount, even though its selling less than ps4 and more people are instead buying xbox s/x(hence the xbox s/x increases).If the numbers are near accurate it’ll defo hit 85m lifetime IMO. Sony will be close to or will hit 120m again. Everyone wins and free reach arounds for everyone on GAF.
In b4 complete disregard because of VGChartz.
MS should really consider releasing official numbers once a quarter.
I really don't care in all honesty.
I can just imagine that Greenberg knows how well the series S/X is doing.
& Digging up a decade old tweet is pretty sad though.
We know from more reputable sources that it was over 12 million January this year, not surprising if it's reached ~2 million more since then.
It might even be higher than VGChartz's estimate.

The thing people sometimes overlook is the Series S is allowing some people a near-enough next gen experience who otherwise wouldn't have one. That's a big deal. I've been the kid whose parents haven't been able to afford the latest console when brand new out, and this is a game changer.Even though I’m not a fan of the Series S at all, I have to admit it’s such a genius idea.
Why, is there too much good XBOX news these days?I don't enter in Xbox threads in general unless it is related to Tech, Sales or PlayStation.
But that is a sales thread with inaccurate source.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and with an opening statement like yours you are probably in the wrong threadShow me the bangers and I will not only sub longterm to gamepass but buy a copy of said banger to own as well.
Yeah you are right. Xbox will sell 300m and the PS5 will sell 23m.so series will sell the same as the 360, even though its selling at 35% higher to date, and playstation will sell the same amount, even though its selling less than ps4 and more people are instead buying xbox s/x(hence the xbox s/x increases).
yeah ok.
Yeah you are right. Xbox will sell 300m and the PS5 will sell 23m.
The only reason you are even commenting is it’s positive Xbox news. You have to find something to turn it into a negative.I never disputed it is selling more than 360.
There is the claim that is true.
"at this point... sold more of this generation of Xboxes, which is Xbox Series X and S, than we had any previous version of Xboxes."
But not data.
If you go read the claim you will understand that Series was at least over all others Xbox in sales after 13 month already... that makes the OP claim even more innacurate.
VGchartz has been accurate loads of times these last few years. Everyone likes to diss it when its not pro there narrative

They literally just tweeted that they try their best to make estimates with limited data.
You can’t be accurate with that.
Here is what i got by doing a search for it
Worldwide:
- 24 hours: 1 million units sold
- 18 days: 2 million units sold
- December 31, 2013: 3 million sold/3.9 million shipped
- April 17, 2014: 5 million units shipped
- October 2014: Nearing 10 million shipped
- January 2016: approximately 18 million activated
Why. Already planning on buying Starfield especially if its play anywhere. Pump out more western RPG and i'll buy em. Obviously xone gen has been a lost cause (look at 2016 -2019) but if series x/s are on track for 80+ million lifetime then ms will keep on funneling money into games like back in the early x360 days. Alan Wake, PGR, Gears, getting Oblivion, Bioshock, Mass Effect first. Seems ms only does it when they perceived to be "winning".Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and with an opening statement like yours you are probably in the wrong thread
Not reading all that. Surely you don’t care that much …This is so sketchy and confusing. Microsoft doesn't provide official sold-through numbers themselves, and this very forum (among many others) have questioned VGChartz's credibility multiple times in the past for sometimes having "not quite right" estimates...yet now they are somehow verified as an accurate website by Aaron Greenburg retweeting them on providing numbers based on estimates that on MS's end are based on sold-in (to retailers) because Microsoft does not provide sold-through numbers of their own?
But...Aaron works for Microsoft so he would know the actual sold-through numbers? And if he's retweeting VGChartz's numbers then shouldn't Microsoft themselves also provide official numbers of sold-through globally, or are they afraid that will set people to expect them to do so regularly going forward? At the same time, if the Series systems are really tracking ahead sold-through over 360, wouldn't you as a corporation feel good enough about that and future projected sales to just put the numbers out there officially to shut down any doubts for good?
Other than that, I'm not going to pretend Series aren't doing well. However I think all of these claims come with some big grains of salt. IIRC the 360 was also supply-constrained for a bit and it took a little bit for supply to start catching up with demand (which was ever-growing over the months and then really picked up when Halo 3, Gears, Mass Effect, etc. were shown and about to be released combined with Sony's E3 disaster for PS3). And IMHO; if 360 had supply to match demand in its first 17 months, I think the numbers would be to the effect where Series would not be trending ahead of it sales-wise. 360's early library from 2005 - 2007 just looked a lot stronger on the 1P & 3P AAA side compared to what Series have had, for what's been released so far. Not to mention, 360 also had a cheaper model (with the same specs processing-wise) and an arguably bigger UI/OS/online services impact as well.
I'm glad Series are selling well this gen so far (though I wish the ratio was in favor of Series X vs. Series S), but I've also seen some people, mainly content creators, try to play this up as some massive momentum shift that will be longer-term, particularly at the detriment of PS5. Which realistically speaking, will simply not be the case unless Sony just outright fails to increase supply for another year or two. Otherwise I think what we're seeing is a reflect mainly driven by supply; that's for BOTH Xbox and PlayStation tbh but outside of the U.S and maybe the U.K, global demand for PlayStation is just magnitudes higher and that shouldn't be a controversial statement.
If supply for PS5 were able to meet demand, I actually don't think Series sales would suffer too much (especially if many are Series X units), and could actually see further increases. However I don't think you see any gap closing and potentially a gap widening somewhat in PS5's favor would be the likely outcome. Honestly tho this has nothing really to do with what I think sales would look like with supply normalized to satisfy demand or whatever; it's about Aaron quote-tweeting sales estimates from a website that hasn't exactly been totally right multiple times in the past, when he could just also officially state what actual sold-through numbers for Series are globally especially if it's trending this far ahead of 360 (allegedly).
xbox thread. same 5 or 6 sony shills shitting up the thread. many such cases. sad!
Hey guys, this is probably my fault.
Slept on x360 gen, became a hit.
Went full One, it became shit.
Sleeping on Series, becoming a hit.
Pray that I'm not getting a series someday lol.
BTW, VGchartz is a banned source on GAF.
We are just missing Bryank....ohhhxbox thread. same 5 or 6 sony shills shitting up the thread. many such cases. sad!

Is there a registration link for the free reach arounds?If the numbers are near accurate it’ll defo hit 85m lifetime IMO. Sony will be close to or will hit 120m again. Everyone wins and free reach arounds for everyone on GAF.
you implying it's console wars to want games i already paid for?

Interesting question, maybe it's a way to share an estimate saying the number himself but quoting something close.(maybe they are not allowed to disclose exact numbers, who knows?) This a guess, as like everyone else here, I have no idea at all.That decade old tweet is just as accurate today. VGChartz has "no source and no science behind the #'s". I'm sure you are right that Greenberg does know the numbers. So why doesn't he just share them instead of retweeting crappy guesses from vgchartz?
Yes, trying to make a negative thing from an obvious no. If you have the original disk of any Xbox Series game today, let alone old games, does that mean you can play and download the digital version from the store and play it?
Your thread was very transparent and stupid.
The issue is MS won't come out and provide official sold-through numbers, which is odd considering they are tracking healthily ahead of 360 (their best gen sales-wise by far) as per VGChartz are claiming.
There are a lot of would-be investors and stock boosts just waiting on official claims to match those of an outside source like VGChartz, so if the actual numbers match up why don't MS just put them out there officially? I think it's fair to ask that question.

As another Microsoft employee did the same thing, what I also thought was a little odd.
In all honesty, I'd trust Vgchartz before Aaron.
Also Fatt Slobb defending Vgchartz because an Xbox employee uses it as a source.
Not a shill
It's obvious the numbers are miles better than Xbox One (either generation) and the comparison with 360 is interesting. I agree with adamsapple that the numbers should be shown every quarter. Maybe they might actually note milestones again. Nice to have some competition again.
They have nothing better to do. Let’s be honest.xbox thread. same 5 or 6 sony shills shitting up the thread. many such cases. sad!
