Microsoft skickade under gårdagskvällen ut en pressrelease som osade självförtroende där de förklarade att de är snubblande nära att ha sålt tio miljoner Xbox One (till butik). De skrev även att Xbox One under de senaste två veckorna i USA ökat försäljningen gånger tre efter prissänkningen samt lanseringen av Sunset Overdrive och Halo: The Master Chief Collection, vilket betyder att Xbox One under perioden varit den mest sålda konsolen i USA.
Som jämförelse leder Playstation 4 dock med 13,5 miljoner sålda konsoler (också till butik) enligt de senaste uppgifterna från Sony.
The new Xbox One bundles, which feature some of this holiday's most anticipated games including Assassin's Creed Unity, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, and Sunset Overdrive, hit store shelves with a limited time offer of $50 off any Xbox One of your choice. Starting as low as $349 in the US, the Xbox One is more affordable than ever this holiday season.
The response to this wave of blockbuster game releases and new bundles has been amazing, and sales have skyrocketed since the new price took effect on Nov. 2. Compared to the previous week, Xbox One sales in the US have more than tripled, which is exciting as more and more friends will be playing together this holiday. As we head into the busy holiday season Xbox One led generation 8 console sales in the US for the past two weeks. Shortly, we will have sold in to retailers more than 10 million Xbox One consoles.
Almost one year ago, I had the honor of shaking hands with hundreds of fans at our Xbox One launch in New York City. We have listened to your feedback and have worked hard to deliver hundreds of improvements to Xbox One, celebrated the launch of amazing new games, and sought ways to offer more value for you. As we reach this milestone, I remain awestruck by your passion for games and your support of Xbox One. Thank you for an incredible year.
