There you have it ladies and gentlemen, the Xbone is doing fine, and to add more to it, less ppl are having problems with it, whereas PS4 owners had quite the issues.
Twintails I'm sorry, but it looks like you're going to have to eat your own words. You claimed Xbone will not do too well on launch and yet within 24 hours it did just as good as the PS4 and with less hardware and software issues to boot.
Again the Xbone and PS4 is blocking Nintendo's chances of gaining momentum. Now they'll likely just hang on until the end of the gen. Anyway what are your thoughts ppl?

Not to be outdone by the PlayStation 4 selling one million consoles in just 24 hours, Microsoft announced today that the Xbox One also achieved the 24 hour, million console milestone.
In a press statement, Xbox stated that the over one million consoles have been "sold through," meaning that the number reflects sales to consumers, 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 consumers have reported problems with the console, but after going through the Xbox support forums, Amazon reviews thread, and other sources, there does not appear to be any problem as persistent as the infamous "Red Ring of Death" that plagued the Microsoft Xbox 360 launch.

ummm you forget both systems are sold out. Likely the US and Canada would not have received 1 million systems if it launched world wide........
