Microsoft relinquishes years-long stubbornness, revealing Xbox sales figures
Transforming into one of the most significant names in the gaming world, Microsoft disclosed the sales figures of the Xbox console for the first time in almost a decade.
Microsoft, the renowned tech giant, has finally ended its decade-long silence by revealing the sales data for its widely celebrated Xbox series of game consoles. This unexpected disclosure occurred at the 2023 Best International Games Festival in Brazil, satisfying the curiosity of fans and analysts who have been eager for the specifics.
As of June 2023, the total sales for the Xbox Series S|X consoles have hit a commendable 21 million units.

The actual figures from Microsoft substantiate these calculations, indicating the precision of the industry experts' predictions.

On top of that, the cumulative sales for the Xbox One series, which includes the first generation, One S, and One X, have exceeded a remarkable 58 million units. These numbers bear testimony to the lasting appeal of the previous generation Xbox consoles among the global gaming community.
When compared to Sony’s PlayStation 5, which competes directly with the Xbox series, the latter has reportedly sold about 38.5 million units as of May 2023. Microsoft had suggested last year that Xbox console sales were roughly half that of Sony’s PlayStation, and these figures corroborate their statement. The gaming market continues to be intensely competitive, with both tech giants continually striving for gamer attention and allegiance worldwide. By disclosing these striking sales numbers, Microsoft has reasserted its standing as a formidable contender in the gaming arena.
