Xbox One Sells One Million Units in Great Britain

By Daniel Bischoff

With exclusive games like Sunset Overdrive, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and loads of third-party titles for players to choose from, Xbox One has a strong Fall ahead of it and reports now state that the hardware has crossed one million units sold in the United Kingdom.

Speaking to MCVUK, retailers say Xbox One outsold PlayStation 4 for three weeks straight before hitting this new record.

Xbox UK marketing director Harvey Eagle told MCVUK that the company has seen "fantastic momentum with Xbox One having sold almost 10 million units to retailers worldwide."

This momentum is reflected in the UK, particularly over the last three weeks, which is extremely encouraging as we approach the Christmas shopping period. People buy consoles to play the best games, and Xbox One is home to the best games. Halo: The Master Chief Collection is one of the highest rated next-gen console games released, Sunset Overdrive is the highest rated new franchise on any next-gen console and Forza Horizon 2 is the highest rated driving game on any next gen console.
