Xbox - statistics & facts

Xbox game consoles

The Xbox 360, the successor to the original Xbox console, was released in November 2005. Since its release, over 85 million Xbox 360 units have been sold, making it the most popular Xbox console of all time. Following on from the Xbox 360 came the Xbox One, first released in November 2013. This device was part of the eighth generation of video game consoles and competed directly with Sony’s PlayStation 4 console. The latest release of video game consoles includes the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles, high-end and low-end devices, respectively, that form the current generation of video game consoles alongside the PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch.

Console competitors

Of the all-time sales of video game consoles, Microsoft registers just one device, the Xbox 360, in the top ten. Looking more closely toward the top of the list, Sony registers three of its products in the top five, with Nintendo’s DS and Game Boy devices making up the rest. In terms of lifetime sales, Sony has sold over twice as many of its PlayStation 4 consoles when compared to the Xbox One – a trend that is expected to continue with the latest generation of PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
