The premiere of the new Xboxes is the best in the history of the brand in terms of the number of copies sold – reveals Microsoft.
It is not known exactly how many consoles were bought, but it is definitely more than 1 million.
“We sold more consoles in 24 hours, in more countries than ever before,” reads a statement on Twitter. It is also known that the current record belonged to the Xbox One, which on the day of its debut was reached by about a million people.
Thank you for supporting the largest launch in Xbox history. In 24 hrs more new consoles sold, in more countries, than ever before. We’re working with retail to resupply as quickly as possible. You continue to show us the connective power of play is more important than ever.

However, it is difficult to speak of surprise. While the predecessor made its debut in an atmosphere of scandal – let us remind you, it was about unclear declarations about second-hand games – the XSX | S has a clean slate. In addition, it appears immediately in two versions, thanks to which it targets both the premium segment and the frugal customer.
The only interesting fact is that malicious people can accuse Microsoft of hypocrisy. Still in the Wednesday interview for The Guardian Xbox boss Phil Spencer declared that the number of units sold did not matter in the slightest.
– I don’t want my team to focus on the number of consoles. More important is how many active players we see and how often they play – argued Spencer. Meanwhile.
Poles contributed a brick
Again – it is not known how big, but the fact is that the new Xbox in Poland also seems to be of great interest. As reported by Paweł Hekman from his sister sister Polygamii, the consoles are plentiful, but there are still some places with a problem with the purchase, and retailers agree that demand is high.
This is an unexpected situation because for many years on the Vistula River the Xbox brand functioned rather in the shadow of the competitive PlayStation. Hereby clearly comes to the fore.
