Microsoft sendt i går kveld ut en pressemelding som sa at de er veldig nære å ha solgt 10 millioner Xbox One-konsoller (til butikk). De skrev også at Xbox One har tredoblet salget i USA de tre siste ukene, altså etter prisreduksjon og lanseringen av Sunset Overdrive og Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Dette burde tilsi at Xbox One har vært den mest solgte konsollen i USA denne perioden.
Til sammenligning har Sony solgt 13,5 million Playstation 4-konsoller, også dette er til butikk.
The new Xbox One bundles, which feature some of this holiday's most anticipated games including Assassin's Creed Unity, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, and Sunset Overdrive, hit store shelves with a limited time offer of $50 off any Xbox One of your choice. Starting as low as $349 in the US, the Xbox One is more affordable than ever this holiday season.
The response to this wave of blockbuster game releases and new bundles has been amazing, and sales have skyrocketed since the new price took effect on Nov. 2. Compared to the previous week, Xbox One sales in the US have more than tripled, which is exciting as more and more friends will be playing together this holiday. As we head into the busy holiday season Xbox One led generation 8 console sales in the US for the past two weeks. Shortly, we will have sold in to retailers more than 10 million Xbox One consoles.
Almost one year ago, I had the honor of shaking hands with hundreds of fans at our Xbox One launch in New York City. We have listened to your feedback and have worked hard to deliver hundreds of improvements to Xbox One, celebrated the launch of amazing new games, and sought ways to offer more value for you. As we reach this milestone, I remain awestruck by your passion for games and your support of Xbox One. Thank you for an incredible year.
