The Microsoft console becomes the eighth fastest home console to have sold 2 million units.
the german company GfKworld leader in providing data and analysis to the consumer goods sector, has released Xbox sales data in the UK. And these are far from the statements that some “specialists” make about the “painful” sales of Xbox.
Apparently Xbox Series X y S has reached the two million units sold in 128 weeks in the UK. In this way, it overtakes Nintendo Switch, which reached two million sales in 140 weeks. Comparing sales to other Microsoft consoles, Xbox One remains the fastest-selling Microsoft machine, reaching two million sales after 104 weeks. It’s worth noting that the Xbox Series S and X, particularly the model Xhas suffered important problems of stock caused by component shortages during the first two years on the market.
Xbox 360 for his part, it took 110 weeks to reach two million sales, while the original Xbox took 162 weeks. In a ranking dominated by Nintendo where the Wii is the console that reached two million sales after only 57 weeks, the leader of this ranking. However, at the end of that generation, Xbox 360 it ended up outselling the Wii.
All this is published at a time when the CMA blocks the acquisition of Activision-Blizzard in UK. Some voices begin to suspect that Xbox would leave the UK if the blockade is not lifted. Something that seems very far from reality given the transcendence of this market for Xbox and the gaming sector. videogame in general.
