Between the November 22nd launch of the Xbox One and the beginning of the new year, Microsoft sold three million Xbox One units. According to a post on the Xbox Wire, Microsoft claims that the demand for the Xbox One is strong, and that the console is on a record-setting pace for the company.
“With Xbox One we saw the most epic launch for Xbox by all measures,” reads a post on the Xbox Wire. “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.”
Despite Microsoft selling millions of Xbox One consoles, the launch of the new console has been a bumpy ride. Day One installation times had users up-in-arms, and many buyers were taken aback by many of the features that had been omitted on changed on the console’s new dashboard.
