Microsoft has sold over 2 million Xbox One consoles to consumers worldwide, averaging over 111,111 units sold per day.

This record setting sales pace for Microsoft’s newest console has users logging over 83 million hours in games, TV, and apps on the Xbox One since its launch on November 22, 2013.

“We continue to be humbled and overwhelmed by the positive response from our fans. We are thrilled to see sales of Xbox One on a record-setting pace, with over 2 million Xbox One consoles in homes around the world. Demand is exceeding supply in our 13 launch markets and Xbox One is sold out at most retailers.  We’re also particularly excited to see consumers engaging in a wide range of games and entertainment experiences on the platform, with more than 1 million paid transactions* on Xbox Live to date,” said Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of strategy and marketing, Xbox.

Console wars and brand loyalty aside, this is great news for all gamers.  This kind of success for Microsoft’s Xbox One surely will not go unnoticed by Sony and Nintendo and will only increase the quality of competition amongst the companies, making us, the consumers, the real winners.
