Microsoft has announced that Xbox One has already sold 1 million units around the world.
“We are humbled and grateful for the excitement of Xbox fans around the world,” said Xbox's Yusuf Mehdi. “Seeing thousands of excited fans lined up to get their Xbox One and their love for gaming was truly a special moment for everyone on the Xbox team. We are working hard to create more Xbox One consoles and look forward to fulfilling holiday gift wishes this season.”
These sales exceeded Xbox 360's launch, setting a new record for Microsoft's Xbox branch. Last week, Sony revealed that its PS4 had sold similarly -- 1 million in 24 hours.
In the last 24 hours, players have driven 3.6 million miles in Forza Motorsport 5, killed 60 million zombies in Dead Rising 3, pulled off 7.1 million combos in Killer Instinct, and slaughtered 8.5 million Ryse: Son of Rome enemies.
Interesting: what the PS4 was able to do in its smallest market alone, the Xbone did in 13 countries total
Congrats tho, if they drop the price $200 without Kinect I might buy it for Dead Rising 3
dddd the Stony fanboys can take multiple seats at this "flop, weak and broken" console selling almost equally depsite being launched second
the Xbone had Canada, UK, France, Australia, Germany, etc. along with the US whereas the PS4 had ONLY the US, which is apparently Sony's weakest market I hope we get a global breakdown soon for the real kiis.
Comparing console launches just doesn't make any sense. The PS3 only sold 196,000 because that's all they made available...they were next to impossible to get.
They're doing incredibly well compared to previously consoles, especially the PS4.
This proves nothing. Sales for those consoles would most likely be higher if more were produced and available for purchase. Consoles like the Wii were intentionally shipped in low quantities in order to create more of a demand for it at launch. If it had shipped over 2 million units, it would have sold out just as easily. However, since these consoles are going head to head it's clear that they are fighting for the numbers in order to get more developers and gamers on board so that they can quickly become the go-to console for game development. This is especially critical for these two consoles since Microsoft is at risk of losing that title to the cheaper Sony hardware.
What I want to see is the software numbers. That will give us the true tea.

The absolute struggle.
