Xbox One Matches PS4 1 Million Consoles in 24 Hours

Microsoft announced today that the Xbox One also achieved the 24 hour, million consoles sold milestone.

In a press statement, Microsoft announced that over one million consoles have been "sold through," which means that number reflects sales to customers, not shipments to retailers.

Yusuf Mehdi, Xbox's corporate Vice President of Marketing and Strategy, wrote, “We are humbled and grateful for the excitement of Xbox fans around the world. Seeing thousands of excited fans lined up to get their Xbox One and their love for gaming was truly a special moment for everyone on the Xbox team. We are working hard to create more Xbox One consoles and look forward to fulfilling holiday gift wishes this season.”

The press statement included a few other statistics as well, including:

• Over 60 million zombies have been killed in Dead Rising 3
• Over 3.6 million miles driven in Forza Motorsport 5
• Over 7.1 million combos in Killer Instinct
• Over 8.5 million enemies defeated in Ryse: Son of Rome
• Over 43.3 million Fit Points earned in Xbox Fitness
  

A small number of customers reported problems with the customers, but nothing in the range of the infamous "Red Ring of Death" which plagued the Microsoft Xbox 360 launch.
