Veille MICROSOFT

Xbox One has probably sold around 19m consoles

Electronic Arts says that there are around 55m new-generation games consoles in the market right now.

It means that we can work out, roughly, how many Xbox Ones have been sold. Microsoft has decided not to detail the Xbox One install base, but PlayStation has been far more open. Sony says that it has sold 36m PS4s so far, which means that Microsoft will have sold around 19m – assuming EA’s figures are correct.

That 19m figure may seem low compared with PlayStation’s number, but it’s actually incredibly strong and shows the Xbox One is continuing to outperform the trajectory of the Xbox 360.
