Since its launch 18 days ago, Xbox One is proving to be the must-have gift this holiday season with more than 2 million consoles sold through to consumers worldwide, averaging over 111,111 units sold per day – a record-setting pace for Xbox. Millions of fans around the world who have purchased Xbox One have shown incredible engagement with the all-in-one games and entertainment system, spending over 83 million hours in games, TV, and apps on Xbox One since the system launched on Nov. 22.

“We continue to be humbled and overwhelmed by the positive response from our fans. We are thrilled to see sales of Xbox One on a record-setting pace, with over 2 million Xbox One consoles in homes around the world. Demand is exceeding supply in our 13 launch markets and Xbox One is sold out at most retailers. We’re also particularly excited to see consumers engaging in a wide range of games and entertainment experiences on the platform, with more than 1 million paid transactions* on Xbox Live to date,” said Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of strategy and marketing, Xbox.

Xbox One is also proving to be the most popular online multiplayer community for gamers with over 39 million Xbox One achievements unlocked and 595 million total Gamerscore achieved.

“Demand for next generation gaming continues to be very strong,” said John Love, director of video games at Amazon. “At peak demand, customers were ordering the Xbox One console at over 1000 units per minute on Amazon.com.”

“The Xbox One entertainment system is one of our hottest selling products this holiday season,” said Bob Puzon, senior vice president of Merchandising at GameStop. “GameStop is experiencing high demand from our customers for this innovative console and we are working closely with Microsoft to receive more units to fulfill our customers’ holiday shopping lists.”

“Xbox One is one of the hottest Christmas gifts this holiday season and was a top seller this Black Friday,” said Chris Nagelson, vice president of entertainment for Walmart U.S. “We are refreshing our inventory as fast as we can to ensure customers can give and receive the new console for Christmas.”

The Xbox team is continuing to work hard to meet consumer demand, delivering consoles to retailers as fast as possible this holiday season. To help people find Xbox One, Major Nelson recently shared some tips for consumers this holiday season.

14 or whatever it was between the NA and European launches.

Yes, it's actually quite good. If I'm not mistaken, it would be the best ever, in fact, if not for the PS4 being able to ship more. Two consoles doing this at the same time is unprecedented.

Marleyman · Dec 11, 2013

Congrats; figured this would happen.

Nice. Looking forward to getting mine.

Crackbone · Dec 11, 2013

Bodes well for the industry @ large if this type momentum can be sustained.

We just have to get Nintendo on the same page, and we're golden.

chadskin · Dec 11, 2013

Only 2.1 mil. PS4s in 30+ countries. Uh oh! /s

Not trying to incite rage but thats what people thought about WiiU at this time last year too.

Not a perfect comparison though because those first two weeks was NA only (plus one day of EU). Truth is we have no freaking clue how's it's done since then. It's hard to find but is that demand or shit supply lines??

codhand · Dec 11, 2013

no, wars, we must have wars!

Immaculate · Dec 11, 2013

Thats great actually

It was out in less countries compared to the ps4 too and both took around the same time to get to 2 million

What happened?

gtj1092 · Dec 11, 2013

Oh wow. Might be an NPD surprise tomorrow.

Phat Michael · Dec 11, 2013

Good. Sort the OS and NAT issues out and you have the best console experience ever.

Deleted member 125677 · Dec 11, 2013

Congrats MS!

Bring some more good games to the table and let's have a feast!

potam · Dec 11, 2013

I wonder, with all these PS4/XB1 sales, how long it will be until most of the developers stop developing for 360/PS3

mcrommert · Dec 11, 2013

Looking at Sony's numbers they announced after 18 days they had 2.1 million...so almost exactly the same after the same period.

Vashetti · Dec 11, 2013

PS4 and XB1 will be ultimately fine.

Wii U is the real loser in all of this.

R3TRODYCE · Dec 11, 2013

Whoa, nice stuff. It feels good to have contributed to the ps4, xb1, and Wii u numbers.

Hardcore fans rushing out to buy their system of choice they fought for in forums. Same thing happened to the Wii U. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon.

funkystudent · Dec 11, 2013

So when are the NPD's so we can finally get some real numbers?

There seems to be quite a few PS3 exclusives in the pipeline for 2014. 360 hasn't seen shit since like 2010 though.

Leonsito · Dec 11, 2013

That's way more than I expected, nice launch.

quickwhips · Dec 11, 2013

Good shit for only 13 Countries. Time for MS to Reload and go for the kill.

Sorry Wii U

Raide · Dec 11, 2013

Great news. Overall Sony has the better momentum but MS are not lagging behind, considering what a terrible E3 they had. All those 180's paid odd in the end. E3 2014 is going to be amazing to see what gets announced!

BRING ON THE GAMES!

Kosma · Dec 11, 2013

Sold through to retailers or customers?

Heretic · Dec 11, 2013

Good stuff!

Now let's help the WiiU!

Bgamer90 · Dec 11, 2013

Happy that both consoles currently released consoles are doing well.

"2.1 million by Dec 1st", so if you count December 1st as the last day that's 17 days. Obviously that's only 2 or 3 days for any country outside of USA and Canada so even if it's only 100k more and 1 day less it's still more impressive.
