Although we won’t know the exact numbers of next-gen consoles sold this holiday season until early next year, Microsoft today confirmed that it has sold 2 million Xbox One units around the world in its first 18 days. Microsoft went on to note that the sales numbers are units sold though to customers, not just shipped, and that most retailers are completely sold out. 

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.
