The lights are on
Microsoft has revealed some detail coming out of the NPD report for January 2014. The Xbox One is off to a much stronger start than the Xbox 360, selling more than double the number of consoles when comparing the first three months of both life cycles.
Microsoft also revealed that it has sold 2.27 million software units in January, making up 47 percent of the market. The attach rate for the Xbox One is an average of 2.7 games since the console’s launch on November 22.
Our TakeI was hoping to hear how many consoles Microsoft has sold, which indicates that Sony has moved more PlayStation 4s than Microsoft sold Xbox Ones. We’ll have a full NPD report shortly that will give us some more detail about the industry. I expect Sony to reveal its own console stats soon, too.
While it't not unexpected that the One is vastly out-selling the 360 in the same release time frame, it is incredible at how popular the console gaming industry continues to be. Do not see console gaming faltering for a while.
Would like to see the actual units sold but from a business perspective, that's not the best strategy to take, aside from the fact that it can be determined. Good to see the console selling well early though.
And to the Sony fanboys... Take your "trolling" somewhere else, this is a Microsoft centered article, there's no need for hatred here.
Cool beans.
And I still have yet to purchase one. Probably won't unless I win one or something.
Impresive
Wow. There are a WHOLEEEEEEEE bunch of idiots on this article.
Am I surprised? Not in the slightest. :-)
That's why I stayed farrrr away from all the brain-dead comments.
Flame Bait article.
What a pointless statistic. Far more Xbox One's were available from launch over the 360. Quelle surprise it's sold quicker.
/sigh Gamers are so foolish. How you can hate one console and love the other is beyond me. They are FAR more alike then they are different. And both have amazing experiences in the future, you really want to rob yourself of that for "brand e-peen" dominance? Good grief.
Positive Xbox One news! Now if guys could report Sonys 1.1 billion loss, the war will go back to being fair.
