So 908,000 for the Xbox One and 643,000 for the Xbox 360. Not bad.
Also confirmed by another Microsoft worker's twitter, Aaron Greenberg.

Still great numbers for a 500 dollar machine

Damn. Over 600k for 360. That seems crazy.
In before xbox one on sale in many less countries than ps4
It's not like this comment of yours is illuminating however - the tweet specifically says NPD, so it's North America, and in any event, the vast, vast, vast majority of XBO's sales have come from the USA, where demand has been met at last with excess supply. Everywhere else in the world has become a dry dock.
Meanwhile, as hard as Sony tried, they shipped in more than 50 countries (vs. 13, in which only UK and US was of concern to MS), of which demand is high in many of them, and even though they diverted stock to the USA, every report we've had suggested they were unable to meet demand. Amazon been taking pre-orders for January shipments. I mean, it's crazy.

Neither is this comment illuminating - Microsoft specifically did not ship in more than 13 countries because they knew they did not have the supply to. Sony shipped in more countries because they thought they could do it, and the demand was there. Most countries could give a shit about XBO. PS4 is a global brand, Xbox is increasingly a US-only brand. Even UK is no longer a frontier for Microsoft.

900k with all that stigma at 500$ is impressive. If they can ever close the price gap they might do alright.

I thought it'd be more fun to have people actually come into the thread and see the numbers, instead of spoiling it in the title.
Numbers are front and center, top of the post.no doubt. very impressive.
Does that effectively confirm 1.2 mil sold outside the US up through the end of 2013? (If I'm reading it right)
Oh boy lol
How? The ps4 is still ahead.

I thought the PS4 outsold the Xbox One in the U.S?
Early adopters would have bought it even at $599. Price will affect sales outside the holidays when people are more conservative with their moneys.

That's a lot for a $500 machine. Impressive and slightly baffling showing for 360, can't believe there were 643,000 people interested in a system 8 years down the road.

Well done, it seems flooding the market indeed was a sound US strat. I wonder how far behind Sony was though, ditto for nintendo.

No, not when the prior month was launch. In fact, no console has ever hit a million in December after launching that November.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh snap! NPD already swung back to the MS side? They want the USA and for December... they got it.
Unsure where it says that. All they've said is '360 did well'
The order (console) will be
