Microsoft has confirmed that it's sold over 1 million Xbox One units in less than 24 hours since launch, setting a new record for its console division.

The Xbox One, after a very rocky reveal and quite a few twists, has finally been released in 13 countries around the world yesterday, November 22.

Now, Microsoft has confirmed the first statistics from this debut, revealing that 1 million units have been sold in less than 24 hours since the console went on sale.

This performance has set a new record in Xbox history, according to the company, surpassing the performance of the Xbox 360.

While the numbers are certainly better than the figures of Sony's PS4, which sold over 1 million units in 24 hours, don't forget that Microsoft's console was rolled out in 13 countries around the world at the same time, while the PS4 is available just in North America.
