Microsoft sells 2,000,000 Xbox One's in 18 days.

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/...-and-neck-in-sales/?partner=yahoofinance&_r=0 :
In a statement Wednesday morning, Microsoft said consumers have bought more than two million Xbox One consoles since the product’s release “18 days ago.” The Xbox One went on sale Nov. 22, which was 18 days as of Monday. A Microsoft representative didn’t immediately respond to clarify whether the two million in sales happened as of Monday or Wednesday, which would represent 20 days.

Whatever the case, Sony appears to have done a smidge better with the PlayStation 4, selling 2.1 million of the systems as of Dec. 1, 17 days after the product went on sale on Nov. 15.

Of course, that’s hardly a blowout. The PlayStation 4 is $100 cheaper than the $500 starting price of the Xbox One so it’s impressive that Microsoft is keeping the margin as narrow as it is.

Also, MSFT shares are up 38% from one year ago.
 
the fact that the X1 is selling at near the same rate as the PS4 and at $100 more price point speaks volumes about the demand...

now its down to who can produce the fastest...
 
I'm waiting for Consolewarz to tell us that 'this doesn't go along with the current metrics I have seen'

LOL.
Very impressive for being $100 more and less powerful.

Not to mention less than half the markets released in yet as opposed to another current next gen system.
 
That is crazy good. PS4 sold that many in 17 days. The XBOX ONE costs $100 more though. Of course if the predictions come true, the XBOX ONE and PS4 will have sold 3 to 4 million by the end of December, IF they can keep up production, which from what I have been seeing, MS is having no issues.
 
:-/

Then I won't be jumping in
Oh no! MS is gonna lose all da moneys!

Maybe you aren't explaining how you aren't buying Xbox One because of Kinect in enough threads! Keep at it! The internets will hear you loud and clear, forcing MS to finally bow down to the lowest common denominator.
 
Not really surprising both Sony and MS are selling whatever they can get onto store shelves and will do so throughout the holiday season. Don't think any of the launch numbers mean much in the grand scheme of head to head competition-- save that both launched successfully. After all it is a marathon and not a sprint.

Were there people that honestly thought that MS' launch would be a complete failure?

I represent a large amount of potential buyers. OUR voice will be heard.
 
not really, looks to be outselling 360 and it didn't launch with Kinect dragging ppl down

as did the 360 to its predecessor

It has roughly 80 million 360 fans,its new and its Christmas.
Impressive but lets see how things are in a few months.

A large part are buying it because they are XB fans that could care less about kinect.

Lol. You speak for them all, do ya? Guess what? This very thread indicates that it's selling anyway. Really not the best thread to promote your cause. I know, you just need a bigger soap box. Clearly MS isn't hearing you through all those "CACHING!" sounds echoing in Redmond right now.

... OR, all of these alleged gamers screaming for a stripped down $400 X1 with no Kinect and less media features already have that option, it's called a PS4. Vote with your wallet and be done.

When a years worth of sales comparing PS4 to X1 are released....I think the numbers will speak for themselves.
