KeplerL2, a well-known AMD whistleblower, revealed on NeoGaf that according to his estimates based on AMD sales data, the sales of Xbox Series X|S has not yet exceeded 30 million units.

"They're even sold less than 30 million units," he said. "You don't need a third-party tracker, you can calculate Xbox sales with AMD and Sony's data. Steam Deck is part of the SCBU (semi-custom business unit) and counts as the host; Van Gogh and all its derivatives are developed by SCBU (semi-custom business unit) and are also part of the host. Z1/Z2 is a repurposed laptop chip (Rembrandt/Phoenix/Strix) that belongs to the client part."

It is also important to note that AMD's digital high Sony/Xbox counts unit sales, as it contains chips that have been sold but are still in transit (i.e. being assembled somewhere).

Therefore, if the sales of consoles in the third quarter are less than 100 million units, including about 66 million units of PS5 and about 4 million units of Steam Deck, then the sales cap of the Xbox Series X|S will reach 29 million units.In the fourth quarter, the sales of consoles exceeded 100 million, including about 75 million PS5 and about 4 million Steam Deck, which means that Xbox sold at least 21 million units.

Therefore, the lowest sales of this generation Xbox is about 21 million units (plus Q1/Q2 sales in 2025) and the highest sales of about 29 million units (plus Q4 and Q1/Q2 sales in 2024).”

This means that Sony's PS5 installation may be three times that of Microsoft's Xbox dual-model.The strategy of launching the low-priced Series S still cannot prevent sales from continuing to decline.Even in the last profitable quarter, Xbox hardware sales fell 22% year-on-year.

However, the Xbox Series S and X are no longer sold at a loss, while the PS5 is in different situations.

KeplerL2 means:

"PS5 was temporarily profitable, but then the price of parts rose (N7 wafers, GDDR6 and some other components) and it returned to a loss. As far as I know, the regular version of PS5 is still selling at a small loss; only the PS5 Pro is profitable. Microsoft has reduced the crystal size and raised the price for the Series X, so it should be profitable now."

As of May this year, the sales of PS5 have exceeded 77 million units.
