The Xbox One hasn’t even been out a month yet and it’s already setting sales records. The company announced today that it has managed to sell over two million units in just 18 days time.
That’s a remarkable record for the company, as it took five months for the Xbox 360 to reach a similar mark when it released several years ago.
Microsoft’s corporate VP of strategy and marketing for Xbox, Yusef Mehdi, was quite pleased with reporting the news. “We’re also particularly excited to see consumers engaging in a wide range of games and entertainment experiences on the platform, with more than one million paid transactions on Xbox Live to date,” he stated.
Still, that number is just shy of the sales that Sony has boasted about with the PlayStation 4, as that system has managed to sell 2.1 million systems worldwide in 18 days’ time.
It’s going to be an interesting next-generation…
