Xbox shipped 3.2 million consoles in Q4 2022 (PS5 7.1 million)

[John Elden Ring]

For the first time in years, we have an Xbox shipment number.

For the Q4 2022 calendar period, Xbox shipped 3.2M consoles compared to PS5's 7.1M

This is from the FTC v Microsoft evidence.

So are xbox still suffering from supply shortages or folk is just not buying?...

 

[AshHunter216]

So it took a court case to get them to admit to their sales.

 

[Jim Ryan]

Not even half.... So if ps5 are around 40 million, Xbox should still be around 20, certainly no more than 25 at the very max.

Should be renamed as Series L

19-20M at max. best case scenario.

So it was already 2:1 before PS5 sales drastically improved in 2023?

Getting less than half the sales of the PS5 while the Series S is available for less than $229 on Amazon as I type this (against $399 for PS5 DE).

They would get in too much trouble for dropping the series S.

Yeah. 2023 made the sales gap even bigger. Xbox been nothing but declining all year as we’ve seen in the reports.

Xbox is a failure. That's why MS is so adamant in destroying this marketing and spinning into cloud gaming.
Again: fuck microsoft.

On era:

Final Fantasy XVI sells 3 million copies in a week - Doomed

Xbox Series consoles sell 3.2 million consoles in an entire holiday quarter - not that bad

The best cope is: "this is just MS trying to look weak"

They have a sub $299 console on the market and those are their numbers and it only got worse since then.

Guys, remember it was supply constrained. Had it not been and it could have sold 3.3M!

This backs up estimates @Heisenberg007 and I (and a few others) did late last year/early this year for EOY '22 Xbox Series sales numbers.

This proves it was statistically impossible for MS to have sold-through 20 million Xbox Series by EOY '22 since they at max could have only shipped 19 million (assuming XBO LTD is around 50 million). If Sony shipped around 147 million PS4 & PS5 systems by EOY '22, the 107 million MAU figure represents 73% of total shipped units.

Applying that to Xbox would mean the shipped total between XBO & Series is around 69 million as of EOY '22. That leaves 19 million for Xbox Series for shipped, even less than that sold-through. This also solidifies, IMO, that Ampere's 20.5 million Xbox Series numbers for EOY '22 were shipped, not sold-through.

Sold-through by EOY '22 was probably between 17 million - 18 million at best...so our estimates back then were correct.

19-20M at max. best case scenario.

If we're talking about right now? Xbox Series could be around 21 million sold-through, though that is being extremely optimistic.

Somewhere between 20.5 - 21 million sold-through is more realistic.

They've been tracking at OG Xbox levels for pretty much the whole year so far. OG Xbox did 6.2 million units in its third year on the market.

I kwen that for some that already

About the end of 2022… 31:69 ratio.

Edit - If we use the Sony 7.1m shipment that is around 3.2m for Series…

@Welfare remember that?

NPD December 2022 (PS5 #1 Revenue, Switch #1 Units, Xbox @ $200 Forever #3, Leaked LTD up to Nov 2022: 10.6m PS5 / 8.7m Xbox)

More green rats. Great.

I told you US was higher than your 53% lol
Heck you even tried to "convince" people that Xbox US:WW ratio was 50%, 48%.... crazy.
You don't listen.

I even make a math with the best scenario for Series (55%).
Sorry I was wrong... it was 56%.

With LTD sales in US up to November it time to estimate WW sales for Series:

55% US: 15.9m
58% US: 15.1m
60% US: 14.6m

US and Global sales ratio was never close to 50%... so we can estimate that Xbox is being very optimistic at max 16 million sold WW as Nov 2022.

Glad we know who was right again

 

[Cool hand luke]

@Welfare get in here and take your lumps from all these forum posters you called dumb as bricks

 

[ApolloHelios]

I hope numbers keep on dwindling down to first around a million, and then mere few thousands LOL

Xbox Series of Losses Ultra

 

[Welfare]

Keystone also shows Xbox shipped ~10M in 2022, so Xbox only shipping 3.2M in Q4 is bizarre.

Ampere is the one that stated Xbox was at 18.5M and guess what, their 2021 estimates were accurate when court documents showed Microsoft said they had 16% of the market in 2021.

No reason to doubt Ampere again since this doesn't contradict them.

The same keystone that shows PS and Switch shipments wrong? And from what I see it is based in CY and FY.
I mean maybe if you stop to look at numbers that are wrong you can have some luck next time.

So you still believes in your 50%?
