Xbox One shipments exceed 5 million

4.6
More than 5 million Xbox One consoles have been shipped to retailers since the system launched in November, Microsoft announced Thursday.

That's up more than a million from the 3.9 million consoles Microsoft reported it shipped in 2013. Microsoft said that 311,000 units were sold in the US in the month of March, putting its latest system 60 percent ahead of Xbox 360 at the same point in their respective life cycles.

"Even more important to us is how much fun you are having on Xbox One," Xbox VP of marketing, strategy, and business Yusuf Mehdi said in statement. "It's amazing that Xbox One fans are spending an average of five hours per day on Xbox One and collectively have totaled more than one billion hours of time spent in games and apps on the console."

Sony reported Thursday that it had sold-through more than 7 million PS4 systems as of April 6. It's important to note the difference in terminology: sold-through denotes units purchased by consumers, whereas sold-in indicates units shipped to retailers, some of which may still be sitting on store shelves.

NPD confirmed that PS4 outsold Xbox One in the US in March, the third month in a row.

Still, Xbox/PC exclusive Titanfall claimed the top slot for US retail sales last month, and Microsoft reports that an average of 2.9 games have been sold per Xbox One console.

ImgBurn wow PlayStation are very far ahead of Microsoft I still think its down to the cost on the console


People have no reason to complain about the xbox one cost now. The console is now $450 and it comes with titanfall. PS4 just has all of Japan buying their console.


It's also outselling the xbox one in the rest of the world. If you think Japan bought 7 million PS4's you are an idiot.

This is disappointing for Microsoft, arguably it's biggest title of the year launches and it's still outsold by the PS4.


Where as Titanfall increased sales of Xbone in the UK by 97% (i believe these numbers are correct if my memory servers me right), Infamous Second Son out matched Titanfall by causing an increased percentage of sales (ps4 consoles) by 107%. Indeed it's sad that such an advertised game isn't even improving sales by much. Hopefully with a Halo title or a true exclusive, Xbox can turn things at least a bit upwards.
(In my opinion, Destiny is going to be the biggest title this year)

You do know that PS4 sells in most countries xbox is only selling in like 13 lol.. so really xbox is doing great :)

Microsoft hasn't bothered releasing in most of those because of demand. The Xbox historically has sold terrible in this nations, for example Japan, it would be pointless to release there.

Sick of the xbox vs ps4 comments. Nothing but a bunch of little kids that shouldnt even be here.

AyrPosted:

Jesus Christ, you absolute kids, stop whining and bitching about the different consoles and just enjoy the one you own. No one gives a damn if your PS4 can do this or if your Xbox One can do that.
Does it okay games? Great.
Have fun with friends? Even better.

Seriously guys, it's embarrassing for the gaming community.

The Xbox is available in 13 counties and I believe the ps4 in 72 countries, but the ps4 has delivering problems, but the xbox is doing just fine
