Microsoft Corp.
on Thursday said it has sold more than five million Xbox One consoles
to retail shops since the product was launched in November.
The company hadn't provided sales figures since early January, when said it sold 3.9 million units through the end of 2013.
Microsoft's statement comes a day after rival Sony Corp. said it sold
more than seven million PlayStation 4 units, up from six million it had
counted in March. Sony has released sales to consumers, while Microsoft
in January said it would thereafter only release sales to retailers that
carry the console.
Despite the difference in methodologies, the statements from the
companies reinforce Sony's apparent lead over Microsoft since they
released their new consoles in November.
Microsoft emphasized the positive comparison with its prior system. "The
new generation is off to a strong start, with global Xbox One sales
outpacing Xbox 360 by more than 60 percent at the same point in time,"
said Yusuf Mehdi, head of the Xbox division's marketing, strategy and
business, in a statement.
