The house of Bill Gates took the liberty of announcing that the Xbox One has sold upwards of three million units worldwide in 2013, a feat that is nothing to scoff at. Yusuf Mehdi, Corporate Vice President of marketing, strategy and business for Xbox, is understandably thrilled with the success that his company has been experiencing with its latest product.
Mehdi even posted a statement on Xbox Wire thanking the fans that helped the platform reach its current sales mark, and assuring those that are still searching for an Xbox One that more are being shipped just as fast as Microsoft can manufacture them.
Given that the Xbox One has only shipped in 13 countries thus far — not to mention the next-gen exclusives arriving for the platform in the near future that are sure to drive even greater sales — 2014 should set Microsoft up quite nicely. Games like the numerically-lacking Halo (which has been reconfirmed for 2014) and Titanfall should prove to be fruitful exclusives for the company, but those games will be up against some stiff competition from rival companies.
Did you pick up an Xbox One in 2013, Ranters? Are you glad you bought/received the platform or would it have been better to hold off until 2014?
