Xbox Series X|S breaks Xbox console sales records
Data released at a meeting discussing the company’s revenues makes Xbox Series X|S the fastest-selling Xbox console, with sales of more than 6.5 million units since its release. During the same period, Xbox One consoles sold 5.7 million units, while the Xbox 360 sold around 5 million units. Despite stock shortages and the chip crisis, Microsoft’s own record-breaking progress is seen as a positive progression. The chip crisis, expected by intel’s CEO to end in 2023 at the earliest, is likely to continue to affect the console side.
The giant company, which first announced that it was not profiting from Xbox console sales, sees subscription systems as its main source of revenue. In recent months (April 20, 2021), Xbox Game Pass has 23 million subscribers and is said to be growing day by day. Although the current Game Pass data has not yet been released, the company’s pre-E3 and E3 steps are estimated to have increased the number of Xbox Game Pass subscribers considerably.
Also, one of the most curious topics for gamers is whether xbox series X and S consoles will be the best-selling Xbox ever. The Xbox 360 generation, xbox’s most successful generation, sold 85 million consoles and was very successful. The Xbox One generation had no success and averaged 50 million sales. The title of best-selling console ever is the PlayStation 2 with sales of 155 million units. Microsoft seems to be achieving this goal with Xbox Game Pass, looking to capture a much larger audience of players. The system, which already has more than 300 games, may have exceeded 30 million subscribers.
