Microsoft seemingly accidentally revealed that Xbox Series X|S sales have surpassed 21 million units globally during an ID@Xbox presentation at the BIG Festival in Brazil. The sales figures were shown on a slide during the presentation, and were quickly shared online by attendees.
This is a significant milestone for the Xbox Series X|S, which were released in November 2020. The consoles have faced some challenges, such as the global chip shortage, but they have still been able to sell well.
The 21 million sales figure is not the total number of consoles that have been shipped, but rather the number of consoles that have been sold through to consumers. This means that some of the consoles that have been shipped may still be sitting on store shelves or in warehouses.
It is still too early to say how the Xbox Series X|S will compare to the sales of the PlayStation 5, but the 21 million sales figure is a good start. Microsoft will be hoping that the consoles can continue to sell well in the coming months and years.
Here are some other interesting facts about the Xbox Series X|S sales:
- The Xbox Series X|S have sold more than the Xbox One did in its first 20 months on the market.
- The Xbox Series X|S are the fastest-selling Xbox consoles ever.
- The Xbox Series X|S are the most popular consoles in the United States.
It will be interesting to see how the Xbox Series X|S sales continue to develop in the coming months and years. However, the 21 million sales figure is a good start, and it suggests that the consoles are off to a strong start.
