UK Xbox Sales Up 1,000% following Xbox One S Launch

We all know that the Xbox One sales have been doing very good in the US as Xbox was the best selling console for the past 2 months. Thanks to MCV, we have learned that the UK Xbox sales are up 1,000% since Microsoft has released the new 500GB and 1TB Xbox One S and now the brand new FIFA bundle. Microsoft’s share of the hardware market for the week ending September 24 has jumped to 71 percent – a year-on-year increase of 76 percent, and a week-on-week rise of a significant 989 percent.

“It’s great to see how popular both the Xbox One S and the FIFA 17 Xbox One S consoles are with fans, not just over the last week but since the Xbox One S was released in August. 4K video streaming and 4K UHD Blu-ray have been extremely well received by gamers and critics and we believe there is no better value right now for those looking to upgrade their console.” – Xbox UK marketing director, Harvey Eagle.

We will see how it will hold up in the coming months as Sony has the PS4 Slim and the PS4 Pro coming up in November. Microsoft has done a great job marketing the Xbox One S and hopefully the success can continue.
