Xbox One Sells 5 Million Units Worldwide

April 18th, 2014 Damian Antony Seeto Xbox One 2 comments

Microsoft has now announced that the Xbox One has now sold over 5 million units worldwide since its launch last November.

This is the number of Xbox One units sold to actual customers. A great start for the console.

Microsoft is happy with the results so far touting the console is selling 60% faster than the Xbox 360 did back when it launched several years ago.

The Xbox One is still selling at a slower rate than the PS4 however. Sony announced actual customer sales of the PS4 is now at 7 million units.

Update: Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg tweeted us saying “Not shipped, sold“. To avoid confusion since many people thought they only shipped 5 million units.

Every confirmed source states that Microsoft has “shipped” not “sold” 5 million units. Get your facts strait. And considering the stock of XBones I’ve seen at retailers, especially Costco, I’m guessing the actual sales numbers is just over 4 million.

I edited this story because a Microsoft employee Aaron Greenberg tweeted us to change it to “sold”. I initially said “shipped” but he told us that was wrong?
