According to data compiled by analyst Daniel Ahmad for the same period, estimated cumulative sales of the Xbox Series X|S have surpassed 38 million units 72 months after its global launch. However, this figure remains lower than the performance of Microsoft's previous two console generations during their respective early periods.
The data shows that the Xbox One sold over 49 million units during its comparable period, while the Xbox 360 exceeded 60 million units. In comparison, the Xbox Series X|S trails by approximately 11 million and over 22 million units, respectively, placing it at the bottom among the 11 platforms listed in the comparison table.
Leading the charts are the Nintendo DS, with over 136 million units sold in its first six years on the market, and the Nintendo Switch, with over 122 million units. The PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 2 both surpassed 103 million units during the same period, while the Nintendo Wii exceeded 97 million units.
Additionally, the PlayStation, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo 3DS recorded sales of over 77 million, 70 million, and 65 million units, respectively, during comparable periods. These figures are estimates compiled by analysts based on company disclosures and similar launch cycles; they are not the official cumulative sales figures recently released by Microsoft. Furthermore, Microsoft has not updated the official cumulative data for the Xbox Series X|S in recent reports.
