Xbox One sold through over 2m consoles since launching 18 days ago
Consumers have spent over 83 million hours in games, TV, and apps on Xbox One since the system launched on November 22.
“We continue to be humbled and overwhelmed by the positive response from our fans,” said Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of strategy and marketing, Xbox. “We are thrilled to see sales of Xbox One on a record-setting pace, with over 2 million Xbox One consoles in homes around the world.
“Demand is exceeding supply in our 13 launch markets and Xbox One is sold out at most retailers. We’re also particularly excited to see consumers engaging in a wide range of games and entertainment experiences on the platform, with more than 1 million paid transactions on Xbox Live to date.”
Xbox One users have also unlocked 39 million Achievements and have achieved 595 million in Gamerscore points, according to the figures sent over.
“Demand for next generation gaming continues to be very strong,” said John Love, director of video games at Amazon. “At peak demand, customers were ordering the Xbox One console at over 1000 units per minute on Amazon.com.”
GameStop and Walmart both stated the chains are experiencing “high demand from customers” and that both are working closely with Microsoft to restock supply.
The NPDs are this Thursday, so hopefully we’ll have more solid figures for the US come tomorrow evening.

Its never everyone knows even the ps fan girls, that the xbox and even ms in general is a way better brand, console, and has a ton of features with a ton of extras and way more to offer than a plain a** ps.

Ever since I got mine all the stores in my area seem to have at least a few at any given time. I'm not surprised that it is selling so well.

Console wars on this news article, as expected. Haha.
I'd like to see figures compared to how many the Xbox 360 sold in 18 days. Obviously Xbox One has sold a lot more than the 360 did at this stage, I'm guessing?
Also 1000 Units per minute on Amazon. Wholey cow. That is a massive stastic.
Well done Microsoft, and Xbox One.

Ted-VPN-V2-CP And PS4 fanboys said the Xbox ONE sold half of that. HA!
Ha, wait till they actually manufacture at a good pace.
That's the thing, they didn't manufacture at a good rate rofl.
Yeah, that is true. They are sold out pretty much everywhere, because they didn't manufacture enough consoles. Me, and my bros plan on getting one here pretty soon!
