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.

OfficialLeonKonviicted Finally PS fanboys can shut up. There is no comparison in sales for these 2 consoles considering the PS4 is $100 cheaper and is in a lot more markets right now. Guarantee Microsoft wins this console war. And don't even comment talking about "how much better the PS4 is" because that is an opinion and what I have stated are FACTS (apart from MS winning the console war)
PS4 is better on and off paper i own both and i can tell you its better what are you talking about?
You state in many of your forum post that you have a ps4, example you said that "Your friend adam owns a xbox one, and he barely plays it. I Own a ps4" never in that post did you mention you own an xbox one and this post was recent. So why say you own both?

Actually its only around $130,000,000(Profit) since it cost around $478 for them to produce and ship out their consoles, so about $22 profit per Xbox ends up to be = actually i was wrong, they've mad $66,000,000 million in profits.
