Translation:

According to welfare on Era

Xbox One estimate (Q3 only)
Q1: 3.9M
Q2: 1.2M
Q3: ~500K
Total: ~5.6M

Xbox 360
Q1: 1.5M
Q2: 1.7M
Q3: 1.8M
Total: 5M

More definitive:

We estimate that the Xbox Series X|S total sell in was 6.5m as of June 30, 2021.

Compared to our estimate of 5.7m for Xbox One and 5.0m for Xbox 360 in the same timeframe.

Supply for Series X|S improved in the past quarter, with hardware revenue up 20% QoQ. https://t.co/ypHqyTqZzo

Speak of the devil.

Doing a bit over half of PS5. I wonder why Sony can manufacture so many more.

Also would love to know the x s split.

Probably because the chip for the PS5 is smaller? 36 CUs compared to 52? And maybe its based on prior expectations and how much they thought they'd sell. You don't want to order 10 million when you expect to sell 6 and have 4 million in stock just waiting
