Xbox One sales tops with 10 Million post Christmas

The console holds the Top Sales Record of the year.

Just a week ago, we reported that Xbox One sales had hit the 9 Million record (check details here), and now they have reached another, somewhat more significant milestone by reaching over 10 million Xbox One sales worldwide. The rapid growth was all thanks to a strong holiday season, with Microsoft’s console hitting the 10 million mark by December 13th. In that week alone, according to VGTChartz, the Xbox One sold over half a million units. The rest of December should push the numbers even higher, although hitting another major milestone like 11 million might be a bit of a stretch. With the amazing sales we’ve seen this holiday season though it isn’t totally out of the question.

Microsoft managed to hit these numbers even after getting off to a slow start, the reason behind this was the amazing price cuts and bundles combined with great exclusive titles. Microsoft pushed a lot of fantastic games out between November and December, many of which were exclusive or offered exclusive features. They then bundled these games with the console and discounted it further, reaching well below the MSRP of the PS4.

The big question now is, will there be a repeat of November in the December numbers? With the month not yet over there is no way to know for sure. Either way, sales for consoles are doing extremely well all around. The Xbox One, PS4, and Wii U have all been selling well this year and should continue to do so going into 2015.
