Microsoft: We are "selling every Xbox One we can make"
Back then, Microsoft said it sold over one million Xbox One units in its first 24 hours. Today, in a statement sent to AllThingsD, Yusuf Mehdi, the Corporate Vice President of Marketing and Strategy for Microsoft's Xbox division, offered this rather vague update on sales of the console:
Eleven days in we are seeing record breaking sales and are selling every Xbox One we can make. Demand is far exceeding supply in the 13 countries we’ve launched and we are sold out at retailers around the world.
Unfortunately, that optimistic statement did not come with a updated sales figure for the Xbox One, as Sony offered today for the PS4. There is evidence from a third party consumer study that the Xbox One outsold the PS4 in the U.S. last week during Black Friday. Hopefully the company will offer some concrete figures on this subject soon.

-HexFrog That's unreal. Can you imagine being in that situation making so much money every minute?
You don't exactly make THAT much because I think it said the xbone costs like 478 dollars to make and they have to ship that xbox to places and then sell it for 500 a pop. In reality it's not as much as they could make but don't quote me on this because there might be some sales lingo I don't know about
On previous consoles they lost money. Someone doesn't go get a console and that's it.. They invest in a few games and an accessory or two. Microsoft hands some deals for easy microsoft points and people buy a little more so they can get whatever micro transaction. Sony does the same thing as well.

-Tyron Who gives a flying f**k which sells faster? They are both still incredibly successful consoles.
The companies care, game developers care, consumers care, stakeholders care. The list goes on..

A ton of the Xbox's around me are totally sold out till 2014, so I wouldn't doubt that these are also selling everyone they make currently.
