Xbox One has sold 18 million units worldwide, according to information revealed by the CEO of eSports company Gfinity.

Discussing the launch of the company's new Tournament Build App on Xbox One, CEO Neville Upton revealed that the app would allow Gfinity "to reach Xbox One's 18 million users globally, offering this new larger audience the opportunity to interact with the Gfinity brand."

The figure puts Xbox One significantly behind PS4, which had sold 35.9m units as of January 3. Microsoft has not officially announced sales figures since November 2014, when it revealed that Xbox One was approaching 10 million units shipped.

Update:

Gfinity has contacted MCV to clarify that Upton's numbers are based on the previously referenced figures from January and not on official Microsoft data.

[Acquiescence]

Nothing wrong with second place. It still nets you a silver.

 

[Mr Swine]

Isn't this old? I remember a thread about this a few days ago. Think it was someone at EA that said that Xbo e has sold 18 million worldwide

 

[Surface of Me]

Didnt that other thread the other week say they were at 20 million?

 

[Burbeting]

I have to admit I was expecting X1 to have sold at least 25 million by now. 18 is by no means bad, but it does mean it's getting pretty badly beaten by PS4.

 

[Aceofspades]

So around 7m per year? Thats rather low tbh

 

[Theorry]

How does a CEO of eSports know how much Xbox One sold?

 

[Ombala]

How does a CEO of eSports know how much Xbox One sold?

How would anyone know it's all about the MAUs now.

Have you ever heard the term market research?

 

[Kenshin001]

They are selling in reverse.

 

[kadotsu]

A great win for MS. They went from third last gen to second this gen.

 

[Sakura]

What was the Xbox 360 install base in the same time frame?

 

[Dragon Puncher]

And PS4 should be just around 40 million by now. Pretty big difference.

 

[Theorry]

Have you ever heard the term market research?

Thats why i am asking.

 

[hodgy100]

While it is technically true. many don't see it this way.

 

[Raylan]

Second Place, you say?

 

[Kayant]

to reach Xbox One's 18 million users globally, offering this new larger audience the opportunity to interact with the Gfinity brand.

I mean amount of users doesn't necessary mean number of consoles sold.

Spoiler

All hail our MAU overlords

At the end of the day I think the estimates that place XB1 sales between 18-20 or something are pretty good.

 

[Sarobi]

So it went from 20 to 18.. they should state that in their next NPD. "We're glad to announce we were the best console to go backwards in sales during the ______ time period"

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Xbox Georg is considered an outlier and should not have been counted.

 

[barit]

lol but who the hell would buy all those Xbones? Europe? Asia? South-America? US/UK are MS's strongest markets and even there they fall now behind X360. People should open their eyes. There are no markets left where MS could sell millions of millions Xbones. 18M is exactly what I would have predict by now. (PS4 for example should be around 39M-40M by now)

Microsoft said they have sold 20 million Xbox One consoles worldwide?

 

[Sarobi]

Microsoft said they have sold 20 million Xbox One consoles worldwide?

Nah, just poking fun at a thread that was up a few days ago regarding Xbox sales.

 

[Sjefen]

I thought it was around 25million, that´s the number that´s been floating around on different forums.

 

[Goose_Se7en]

If MS would just come out and say "hey, we've sold X amount of Xbox Ones" they wouldn't be a need for all this speculation.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

While it is technically true. many don't see it this way.

Its not technically true, its fact. Not that it matters much, it did very well for MS.

 

[Swass]

I thought it was around 25million, that´s the number that´s been floating around on different forums.

Not sure why anyone would think they are at that high a number.. they are barely averaging 200k a month in their strongest territory..

 

[Poimandres]

I thought it was around 25million, that´s the number that´s been floating around on different forums.

I think it's probably closer to 20 than 18, but 25 is crazy talk!

 

[aravuus]

Misterxmedia forums?

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Misterxmedia forums?

Crapgamer.

 

[Pif]

And Xbox already peaked it seems.

The console is on track to sell ~40 million worldwide maybe, assuming a refresh is coming soon.

 

[foxbeldin]

So 20 millions shipped, 18 millions sold through?

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

What's the trend here in terms of sales?

Even without the launch of NX and possibly the PS4K this year, I would expect XB1 sales to be lower this year compared to last as is. But seeing as those two are coming, and even with a reduced-price XB1 Slim, sales for MS are going to see a big impact.

 

[Flopfan]

So about 50% of PS4

 

[bitbydeath]

What was the Xbox 360 install base in the same time frame?

17.7M back in Jan of the same time frame.

[RibMan]

Sounds about right for sell-through numbers. 11-12 million in NA, 6-7 million rotw.

 

[Izuna]

So around 7m per year? Thats rather low tbh

This isn't low, the adoption rate for consoles is far greater than last generation.

 

[mavericktopgun]

So
Xbox 360 #1 at launch then last
PS3 last then #2
Wii #1 at the end


Xbox One #2 then #2
PS4 #1 at launch then #3
NX #1 at the end?

Wii U was always last lol

 

[Skele7on]

Nothing wrong with second place. It still nets you a silver.

But I need gold to play online.. I can watch TV using silver though.

 

[KOHIPEET]

They are selling in reverse.

Well it did in fact come from the future so...

 

[Maedre]

So
Xbox 360 #1 at launch then last
PS3 last then #2
Wii #1 at the end


Xbox One #2 then #2
PS4 #1 at launch then #3
NX #1 at the end?

Wii U was always last lol

Hahahahahahahahahahahah, nope espacialy the NX part.

 

[AzaK]

So around 7m per year? Thats rather low tbh

Look at the Wii U and it's a different story. Wii U has sold about 3.5 mill per year.

So
Xbox 360 #1 at launch then last
PS3 last then #2
Wii #1 at the end


Xbox One #2 then #2
PS4 #1 at launch then #3
NX #1 at the end?

Wii U was always last lol

Haha. Are you on drugs. NO way will the NX be even close to first, and especially not now the PS4K is coming. I would put money on NX being last over the next few years.

 

[IvorB]

A great win for MS. They went from third last gen to second this gen.

Ha ha! No lies detected.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

The optimism in this thread is fantastic!

 

[Fox Mulder]

So about 50% of PS4

The playstation has always had more brand appeal worldwide.

 

[Conduit]

So, it's likely more than 2:1 behind the PS4.

 

[Beautiful Ninja]

17.7M back in Jan of the same time frame.

http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/03/microsoft-17-7-million-xbox-360s-and-8-1-million-copies-of-halo/

So if the 18 million number here is accurate, then the Xbox One is pretty close to equal to the 360 LTD. And from the numbers in the NPD, the Xbox One is still up by a solid 1.8 million consoles in the US over Xbox 360 in the same time frame. Which would indicate what I think everyone already knew, which is the Xbox brand has completely imploded internationally.

 

[Ghost Rider]

So
Xbox 360 #1 at launch then last
PS3 last then #2
Wii #1 at the end


Xbox One #2 then #2
PS4 #1 at launch then #3
NX #1 at the end?

Wii U was always last lol

Uh... Yeah

 

[RowdyReverb]

I feel like the XB1's sales have been at 18 million for like 6 months now

 

[Apt101]

That seems low? I thought they had moved that much by several months ago.

 

[fanboi]

So
Xbox 360 #1 at launch then last
PS3 last then #2
Wii #1 at the end


Xbox One #2 then #2
PS4 #1 at launch then #3
NX #1 at the end?

Wii U was always last lol
