It's been 18 days since the rocky launch of the Xbox One. Users have complained about features missing out of the box, Kinect commands not working as well as they should, and Forza 5's microtransactions. Still, the Xbox One continues to sell, as Microsoft has revealed that it has sold over 2 million units worldwide.
That's an average of 111,111 units per day--yet I still can't find an Xbox One for sale in any of my local retailers. At least I'm not the only one, though, as Microsoft also claims their Xbox Ones are sold out at many retailers.
“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 Xbox VP Yusuf Mehdi.
“Demand for next generation gaming continues to be very strong,” said John Love, director of video games at Amazon. “At peak demand, customers were ordering the Xbox One console at over 1000 units per minute on Amazon.com.”
