The 32.1m was sell-in not sold-through so it's likely there were 2m units in various stages of shipping.

18 million seems high for xbox. Im not questioning the validity of ampheres data, just pushing back on how xbots think the numbers are too low. IMO the series S/X are among the worst consoles ever created so anything past 15 million is a shock to me.

Think about all the series S sitting unsold on shelves, could easily be a couple mil of unsold inventory.
