Microsoft claims it has sold more than one million Xbox One consoles in the first 24 hours after it hit the market.
The Xbox One went on sale on November 22 in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, the UK and the U.S.
With a million consoles sold in less than one day on the market, Microsoft has matched Sony, which said it has sold more than one million PlayStation 4 consoles in 24 hours.
"We are working hard to create more Xbox One consoles and look forward to fulfilling holiday gift wishes this season,” wrote Yusuf Mehdi, Xbox's corporate Vice President of Marketing and Strategy, in a statement.
The Xbox One costs $499 in the U.S., and the PlayStation 4 can be had for $399. Both consoles offer improved graphics, new social features and a better controller than its predecessors, the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.
