We already know that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft seems pretty chuffed with the launch of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series S, but the company can now add another accolade to the list – Xbox Series X/S is Microsoft's biggest consol🤡e laun🐟ch ever in the UK.

Publishers have reportedly informed that Microsoft shifted arou🎀nd 155,000 consoles on launch day, beating the Xbox One, which sold 150,000 over its first two days on the market. That's in spite of the stock shortages that have seen a lot of disappointed Xbox fans go empty-handed for now.

With the UK being Xbox's biggest market second only to the US, it's a significant milestone, even if it's some way off the 250,000 PS4 units Sony sold in the ജfirst 48-hours after la🅷unch back in 2013. 

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:As we reported yesterday, Microsoft ran down a list of impressive figures for the launch of its new console family. While it did specify that more new consoles were sold during the first day than in any prior generation, it refrained from giving any specific sales figures directly - supporting Xbox boss Phil Spencer's previous statements that doing so would 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"change the focus" from engaging players, which is where he🎀 wants to keep his entire division ꧒pointed. 

Players reportedly started up 3,594 different titles on their Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles in the firꦫst 24 hours of the consoles' release. 

Oh, and if you haven't managed to grab your own new Xbox yet, keep the faith – Microsoft says it's "working tirelessly" to bring more consoles to๊ theꦉ global market.

"The Xbox Series X is an unconventional next-generation console," Josh wrote in his detailed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:review of the Xbox Series X. "It's arriving witꦗh thousands of playable games from day one, each of which appears to play better than they ever have on console, but the broad appeal of that offering will likely depend on where your allegiances have been for the last generation."
