Microsoft: Over 3 million Xbox One consoles sold in 2013

The launch of the Xbox One has brought lots of satisfaction to the company and gamers alike. After almost two months since its arrival, Microsoft announced today it has sold over 3 million units of its next-generation console in 13 countries in the last few weeks of 2013.

According to Microsoft via its Xbox Wire,

Together, we ushered in a new era of games and entertainment with Xbox One. Over 3 million Xbox One consoles were sold to consumers in 13 countries before the end of 2013. It’s been incredible to see Xbox One selling at a record-setting pace for Xbox, and we were honored to see Xbox One become the fastest-selling console in the U.S. during our launch month in November.

Sony has not shared information yet of the number of consoles sold since the release of the PlayStation 4, launched a week before the Xbox One’s.
