Xbox One launched in 13 markets on Nov. 22 and blew right off the shelves in what is described as one of the biggest launches in Xbox history. Friday's launch surpassed the day one Xbox 360 sales and has set a new record for Microsoft.


According to Xbox Wire, Xbox One is now sold out at most retailers. Microsoft is working to replenish stock as fast as possible to meet the unprecedented demand from customers.



“We are humbled and grateful for the excitement of Xbox fans around the world,” said Yusuf Mehdi, Corporate Vice President of Marketing and Strategy, Xbox. “Seeing thousands of excited fans lined up to get their Xbox One and their love for gaming was truly a special moment for everyone on the Xbox team. We are working hard to create more Xbox One consoles and look forward to fulfilling holiday gift wishes this season.”
