Xbox head of marketing indirectly confirms Xbox Series X|S sales data from portal he previously criticized

Microsoft has not provided official Xbox sales results for a long time, but the console's head of marketing reacted to VGChartz data. Interestingly, many years ago, Aaron Greenberg loudly criticized the portal's information.

In 2022, Daniel Ahmad reported that Microsoft had sold more than 12 million Xbox Series X|S consoles. The corporation did not comment on this report, and it appears the senior analyst at Niko Partners was right.

According to VGChartz, Xbox Series X|S sales reached 13.87 million units, which is significantly better than the Xbox 360 (by 4.49 million units). Aaron Greenberg reacted to the news and thanked fans for their support:

“Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the growth and popularity of Xbox this generation. We still have a lot of work ahead, and hopefully global supply will continue to improve.”

Fans recalled that in 2010, Aaron Greenberg called out VGChartz for not providing credible data:

“I’m laughing at the VGChartz sales report. Why do people publish info as official when there is no source or proof behind it?”

It should be added that VGChartz relies on its own estimates, which sometimes match manufacturer data. However, the website has repeatedly misrepresented the number of games and consoles sold.
