XBOX WIRE - Together, we ushered in a new era of games and entertainment with Xbox One. Over 3 million Xbox One consoles were sold to consumers in 13 countries before the end of 2013. It’s been incredible to see Xbox One selling at a record-setting pace for Xbox, and we were honored to see Xbox One become the fastest-selling console in the U.S. during our launch month in November. Since our launch, demand for Xbox One has been strong, selling out throughout the holidays at most retailers worldwide. We are continuing to work hard to deliver additional consoles to retailers as fast as possible.

"Mobile gaming will take over" People said.
Congrats MS, 3 million units sold in such a short time is damn impressive. Sales from both console just prove that gaming has never been better off as it is now.
I also note they are still holding onto the "fastest selling console in November" line. Picking and choosing dates to suit their argument is a little sketchy. No but seriously, well done MS.
I walked in a got the second last Xbox one they had left in stock but they are getting another 20 on Wednesday so it's a none issue.
In anything this confirms that fakechartz.com are fake.
Well done.
Now give me Titanfall, Quantum Break and Halo 5.
Let's see if they can continue with those sales in 2014.
and vg numbers have always been wrong, nobody puts any faith in them as they basically make them up based on what they hear rather than hard data
Either numbers are right on one side or they're wrong on both.
Outside of that, how do sales numbers increase my fun? I am still not quite understanding that one. Having plenty of good First Party and Third Party titles! That constitutes to fun :).
sales matter to the companies themselves as if it's not selling it's not worth doing.
it matters to fanboys cuz it lets them shout some more
matters to the rest cuz more buyers equals a higher chance (not guaranteed) of a long support by it's brand
Developers will invest where they will likely see the greatest return.
So really tell me again why sales matter so much when both Sony and MS do not have the titles yet to really pus for anything. Not saying they won't have them in the future, but as things are now they really aren't made for "fun" more for "bragging rights".
What data are you looking at? Third party games continue and have mostly sold better than exclusives. So yeah sales do matter because if they didn't we would see full support for games on the Vita and Wii U. Don't you think? A lot of this is common sense.
Out of the 40 friends who i have on my x box 360 account.
Only 4 have got next consoles yet. 3 got the xb1 and 1 got the ps4. The rest still are playing x box 360
The console was doomed with the DRM stuff still implemented. And since we are not stupid we know that the situation changed drastically when MS made the changes they made.
As a core gamer it was pathetic as hell for MS to try and pull something like that but as we all know the core gamer is nothing but a drop in the bucket in the total sales of a console. So it doesn't matter how s*it MS is on this site there is a big world out there with lots of casual gamers for them to feed off of. Nothing we can do about it no matter how sad it is.
I've seen queues with 60 people trying to get on just one server.
Seems 1 million more people bought an xb1 over December.
Im guessing that by the time titanfall is out there should be more than 5million consoles and by the time halo5 is out there should be almost 10million consoles or more.
Both games(halo5 and titanfall) are probably going to push the systems sales much farther.i also expect watchdogs,d4, project spark and destiny to push sales a bit. Ms really needs to celebrate this,it hasnt been easy for them at all.
Well, if VGchartz missed Xbone numbers for a 500k ( a few days ago ), then PS4 is close to 4 million.
Greatness awaits!
I chuckled at this. 8)
And, of course, Kudos to all those that supported MS as well, because without fans, nothing happens.
