Xbox Series: 155,000 UK sales on launch day according to VGC

The Xbox Series X and S had the biggest launch in Xbox console history, as Phil Spencer announced last week. But what are the sales figures? The VGC site was obviously able to obtain precise data for the United Kingdom, a territory considered to be the second largest market for Xbox behind the United States.

According to the sources of VGC, 155,000 Xbox Series consoles were sold in the UK on November 10, the entire available stock

. The Xbox Series X – the more powerful model priced at € 499.99 – accounts for two-thirds of those sales. This would be just the best launch of Xbox consoles on this market, ahead of 150,000 Xbox One sales in 48 hours. All manufacturers combined, the record is held by the PS4 with 250,000 sales in two days.

Last week, Microsoft highlighted the fact that 70% of Xbox Series console owners subscribe to Xbox Game Pass, the spearhead of the Xbox ecosystem. At the last census, the service had 15 million subscribers worldwide.
