Microsoft's Xbox One sold 1 million units in 24 hrs. If you're feeling déjà vu reading this, it's likely because a similar article was posted on CBM last week which announced 1 million Playstation 4's had been sold in 24 hrs. Yusuf Mehdi, Corporate VP of Marketing and Strategy for Microsoft's Xbox stated, "We are humbled and grateful for the excitement of Xbox fans around the world. 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."
According to Microsoft, Xbox One gamers have:
- Killed more than 60 million zombies in Dead Rising 3
- Driven more than 3.6 million miles in Forza Motorsport 5
- Completed more than 7.1 million combos in Killer Instinct
- Defeated more than 8.5 million enemies in Ryse: Son of Rome
- Earned more than 43.3 million Fit Points in Xbox Fitness
But to put this in retrospect. Sony sold 1 million PS4's in North America alone. Microsoft sold 1 million+ Xbox One consoles worldwide. It's pretty obvious that the PS4 is going to outsell the Xbox One, at least initially. And while these are both impressive figures, the real console battle will begin as more and more titles/exclusive titles are released and announced in the coming months.
