Nearly 10 million Xbox One consoles shipped worldwide

4.6
Microsoft has shipped almost 10 million Xbox One consoles throughout the world, Xbox CVP of Marketing, Strategy and Business Yusuf Mehdi writes on Xbox Wire.

"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," Mehdi says. "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."

Microsoft recently announced the Xbox One would be $50 cheaper from November 2 to January 3, including consoles bundled with games. The Assassin's Creed: Unity Xbox One and Kinect bundle, for example, is $450, while that bundle without Kinect is $350.

The Xbox One trailed Sony's PS4 in sales during the consoles' first months on the market. Late in October, Sony announced worldwide PS4 sales of 13.5 million. In June, Microsoft started selling the Xbox One without Kinect for $400 – $100 cheaper than the Kinect-ed launch bundle – and the company reported sales that month were "more than double" those in May.

Kicka was gonna buy one just for Halo master chief collection, then i played it at a friends house when he first got it and the install time was unbelievably slow. took over an hour to install meanwhile my ps4 games fully install within 2 minutes lmao. and the master chief collection sucks anyway, was nowhere near impressed by it.
looks like this console will be $200 before sony even makes 1 price drop.. lol

desperate much Microsoft?


The reason why the master chief collection takes so long is due to the 15gb update that you have to DOWNLOAD. The install time for all games takes like 30 minutes. Sure it isn't necessary, but you can't judge an entire feature on a console from one big **** download. Do some research before making biased posts.

Wrong. Most ps4 games are over 15gb and again, install in 5 minutes MAX. I wasnt counting the update, that took even longer. The xbox one is just a very slow console compared to the ps4.


Slow installing wise sure, and I can agree with you on the fact that the Xbox one does take significantly longer to install a game than the PS4, but that doesn't make the console as a whole inferior or slower. Just some really **** optimization from MS on their drive usage.


Exactly, the reason the PS4 installs are quicker is due to how it caches data. This is something that can be remedied later for the Xbox one.
However it should never have been this bad to begin with, most games on my PS4, enough is installed to begin playing within a minute.

Microsoft seems pretty confident with that number... however if they don't sell them, they're not going to be looking so good.

The amount of people trying to download the update would have slowed it down considerably. I haven't played the PS4 yet, but they Xbox One can be very slow sometimes, like when you try to load the Achievements whilst playing a game sometimes it will be pretty fast the other times it is really slow. But then again it's the same with a PC, sometimes you open a program and it's lightening fast but another time it could take a few minutes.

Has anyone not paid attention to the fact that this says 10 million xbones have 'shipped' worldwide and not 'sold' worldwide. I believe that this means, Microsoft has merely shipped 10 million consoles to retailers, as opposed to Sony selling 13.5 million consoles to consumers. Do not get me wrong, I am no fanboy, I'm just stating what I believe. I own a gaming pc, xbone and a PS4, they're all great.

JRMH Everyone who brings up the PS4 in these comments (yes, hypocritical, I did it...) is ignorant.
I'm losing interest in video games though...


Why is that? It doesn't suit your opinion? The article itself directly compares it to the PS4.
