Stolen from "another site." Had to share.

Official Chinese Outlet Saowen has reported that the Xbox One has sold 70 million consoles. Saowen is a premiere Tech & Programming firm with numerous locations and vicinity.

From the link descriptor in Chinese:

微軟Xbox One尷尬了索遊戲機銷量已超過7000萬

or

Wēiruǎn Xbox One gāngàle suǒ yóuxì jī xiāoliàng yǐ chāoguò 7000 wàn
Which translates to:

Microsoft Xbox One has sold more than 70 million game consoles
But here is the main link to main article:

Which has this Chinese text confirming the above:

過7000萬台,也讓微軟的Xbox One略顯尷尬
and

微軟Xbox One遊戲機銷量已超過7000萬
Which both translate to:

Over 70 million units, but also let Microsoft's Xbox One slightly
and

Microsoft Xbox One game console has sold more than 70 million

Let's discuss this shall we mates? I'm too lazy to deep dive with this news, so if someone else could do the honors. I'm not stating that this news is accurate.

It's possible Jinca and TD may have strokes if even an inkling of this news is true so please, would someone be on the ready to call an ambulance if need be. Thanks!

It's not even close to true, they haven't even been winning any NPD's in North America which is by far their best market.
 
They're around 40, maybe lower 40s.
 
Because they dont win NPD - does that mean they didnt sell any consoles?

It means they aren't anywhere near the number that Chinese outlet quoted. Sony outsells MS in every market and if those numbers were correct they'd only be about 16 million ahead which we all KNOW isn't true. North America is where MS sells the majority of their consoles, they don't even lead here so how would they only be 16 million behind a company that not only outsells them in their strongest markets but trounces them everywhere else?
 
I think they will be closing in on 50 million after the holidays.

Out of context:

Original - 過7000萬台,也讓微軟的Xbox One略顯尷尬
Translat - Over 70 million units, but also let Microsoft's Xbox One slightly...

In Context:

Original - 索尼PS4遊戲機銷量超過7000萬台,也讓微軟的Xbox One略顯尷尬
Translation - Sony PS4 game consoles sold more than 70 million units, which also made Microsoft's Xbox One slightly...

The first part of the statement is cut-off. Also, that articles from 2017 and they're quoting even older numbers from MS since they don't publish numbers anymore.
 
The article is actually referring to the PS4 as being over 70 mil, not the Xbox One. It was a mistaken translation.
