Microsoft says it has already sold over 2 Million Xbox One consoles since the launch on November 22nd which means an average of 111,111 consoles were sold each day since its release. This puts the console maker neck and neck with Sony’s latest PS4 numbers which reported 2.1 Million consoles made its way to consumers, as reported on December 2nd.
This news puts Sony marginally ahead of the Xbox One but keep in mind Sony did not launch in all territories on day 1. Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of strategy and marketing of Xbox had this to say.
“We continue to be humbled and overwhelmed by the positive response from our fans. We are thrilled to see sales of Xbox One on a record-setting pace, with over 2 million Xbox One consoles in homes around the world. Demand is exceeding supply in our 13 launch markets and Xbox One is sold out at most retailers. We’re also particularly excited to see consumers engaging in a wide range of games and entertainment experiences on the platform, with more than 1 million paid transactions* on Xbox Live to date.”
In any event, that is a lot of consoles for both sides and is great for gaming.
