This was the number everyone was waiting for.

Last weekend it was announced that Sony sold 1 million consoles in the first 24 hours of its availability.

So when Xbox One launched last night it was only a matter of time before we heard the numbers from Microsoft on how Xbox One did in its debut.

According to the Xbox Wire the Xbox One has sold more than 1 million consoles in less than 24 hours. They also verified it is the biggest launch in Xbox history.



The story also had some game related stats for the initial 24 hours of Xbox One’s availability:

  • Over 3.6 million miles driven in “Forza Motorsport 5”
  • Over 7.1 million combos in “Killer Instinct”
  • 43.3 million Fit Points earned in Xbox Fitness

I have no doubt the comparisons will continue just like they did for the last generation consoles so hang on for the ride.
