The Xbox One has been selling briskly since launch. In the absence of the runaway success of its primary rival, the PS4, the Xbox One sales would be considered quite impressive indeed. With over one million units sold in the first 24 hours, and over three million by the end of 2013, a number twice that of the Xbox 360 in the same period after its launch.
Estimates put the number of total Xbox One consoles sold at around 5 million, or around half as many as the PS4. This is certainly disheartening for Microsoft, but the sequel to last generation's console "winner" has seen an uptick in sales since introducing the once unheard-of Kinectless Xbox One. Undoubtedly buoyed by the lower, $399 price tag, sales of the Xbox One doubled in June over May and the company saw an overall increase in console sales for the fiscal quarter. Total revenue from console gaming for the quarter came to $104 million USD, which represented a 14% increase in revenue year-over-year.
