By all accounts that figure is worldwide.The new PS4 & Xbones will be here soon enough..lol..Glad i decided to stick with pc instead

Starting with Microsoft's fiscal quarter ending June 2014 (Q4), the company stopped divulging individual platform sales in their fiscal reports.

Sounds more impressive than 18 million Xbox ones sold ( or is that shipped but waiting on the selves at retail stores .... it is hard to get any true numbers from Microsoft )

Good Luck and Take Care
