Xbox’s decision to keep the Console Sales under the wraps explained

Back in 2015, Microsoft decided to keep a lid on Xbox sales numbers, and just recently, Xbox CFO Tim Stuart spilled the beans on why. Speaking at the Wells Fargo 2023 TMT Summit, Stuart shared that Microsoft thinks throwing out a simple unit sales number doesn’t really give the full picture of how Xbox is doing overall.

While rivals Sony and Nintendo regularly drop their hardware sales digits, Xbox tends to hang back, possibly because it’s not sitting pretty at the top of the console sales charts compared to PlayStation and Switch.
