Microsoft sold 3 million Xbox One consoles in 13 countries before the end of 2013, the company announced today; the first time sales figures have been released since it announced 2 million consoles were sold within the first 18 days of release.
The news comes from a post on Microsoft's official Xbox Wire blog, where Microsoft said it's "continuing to work hard to deliver additional consoles to retailers as fast as possible" thanks to steady sales.
"Over 3 million Xbox One consoles were sold to consumers in 13 countries before the end of 2013," wrote Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of marketing, strategy and business for Xbox. "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. during our launch month in November."
In November, the NPD Group confirmed 909,132 Xbox One consoles were sold in the U.S. in its first 10 days of release. Microsoft updated the total on Dec. 11 to announce 2 million sales within the first 18 days of availability, a tally that includes the other 12 markets the console launched in.
November's NPD sales figures indicate that the U.S. likely accounted for at least a third of Xbox One's overall sales, though Microsoft declined to break down the sales by territory. When the November figures were released, Microsoft claimed it "significantly outpacing the nearest competitor" in terms of daily console sales.

LatiasDlCELiaKatsumiLatiasF-18 This is actually worse the the 360, the 360 is currently outselling the One, PS4, and PS3
I would hope so, the 360 has been out for 8 years. By the way the PS3 passed Xbox 360 sales a few month ago.
I was about to say, I'm pretty sure that the PS3 is selling more than the Xbox 360 at the moment.
Do you mean that the PS3 has sold more consoles overall, or are just selling more at the moment? Either way I didn't know about this :o
Ps3 outsold the xbox 360 in either november or december, after the xbox 360 outsold it for 32-33 months. Both consoles have around 80 million sells each.
Yep and the PS3 launched a year later at $200 more.
Pretty much this. So i think it's safe to say that the Xbox 360 is not outselling the PS3 currently.

Dorkus That's a lot of my xbox's but the only reason they're behind in sales compared to the PS4 is because it's $100 cheaper.
well that and the PS4 has a much stronger market in eastern countries, just as the PS3 did
