Microsoft sells over 2 million Xbox One consoles in 18 days

[Gunzkewl]

 

Microsoft says it has sold over 2 million Xbox One consoles since its launch 18 days ago. The sales figures average out to around 111,111 units per day, a pace that Microsoft describes as “record-setting.” While the company countered Sony’s 2.1 million PlayStation 4 sales with zombie stats previously, it’s clear both consoles are selling well. “Demand is exceeding supply in our 13 launch markets and Xbox One is sold out at most retailers,” says Microsoft’s Yusuf Mehdi.

 

Sony has sold over 2.1 million PlayStation 4’s across the US, Europe, and Australia up to December 1st. While Sony’s console launched 25 days ago, it was limited to the US and Canada for the first 14 days of sales and Sony’s most recent figures only include two days of availability across Europe and Australasia. While Microsoft is updating its Xbox One sales figures, the company also delivered its first Xbox One system update today, addressing several issues with SmartGlass and notifications, as well as improvements to the dashboard performance and TV features

It would have been impossible for 2 million to sell within two days. There weren't two million units in North America. Sony had to hold some back for the European release and further holiday sales.
