Microsoft: 8.45 million watched Xbox One reveal event in first 24hours
Microsoft, via its Xbox Wire blog, did not give any specific info on the number of concurrent viewers of its live Internet stream on Xbox.com or via the Xbox 360 console. However, the company did state that the numbers were triple the previous record of concurrent viewers on Xbox.com. It added:
"According to our friends at Akamai, our streaming partner, the Xbox Reveal event was among the most watched live broadcasts delivered by Akamai in their history, nearly doubling peak traffic records and eclipsing concurrent viewership high-water marks set by events such as the 2010 World Cup, Royal Wedding in 2011, and 2012 election night."
In the US, the Xbox One reveal event was shown live on the Spike cable TV network. Microsoft said over 1.73 million people watched the show on Spike, which was broadcast in the US in the late morning and early afternoon hours; that's actually some impressive ratings numbers for a pay cable channel in the middle of the day.

Frog Wow that's crazy! I actually didn't even watch it yet, nearly a month on xD
You really didn't miss anything. Almost everything announced has changed so it was pointless to watch.

ShadowBoltDashieNinjaWizardslapshot101 Now how many of those people actually watched the whole event, most people like me just watched a part or two because they didn't care about every part of it.
I didn't.
I watched like 15 minutes of it .-. And they weren't 15 minutes in a straight order, I was going back and forth on the reveal.
Haha, I didn't even watch it all!
