Microsoft has sold 1 million Xbox Series X|S consoles in the UK

ACCORDING TO a new report from GamesIndustry.biz, Microsoft has finally sold 1 million Xbox Series X|S consoles in the UK, thanks to its best sales month last December.

Thanks to the "significant increase in inventory" of Xbox Series X consoles, Microsoft has ushered in the best sales month for Xbox consoles to date, even surpassing the Xbox Series X|S console launch month in November 2020.

It's not surprising that supply chain issues have affected all gaming console manufacturers due to the ongoing chip shortages brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, and sales figures are limited by supply rather than demand.

In a recent Interview with The New York Times, Xbox principal Phil Spencer said that while manufacturers have been facing problems, "the supply is actually as large as ever." It's demand that exceeds the supply of all of us."

"At this point, our generation of Xbox sales, the Xbox Series X|S, are more than any previous version of the Xbox. So our job is to get supply to meet that demand. ”

While Microsoft can hold its head high for this record sales month, the Xbox Series X|S console is still not the most popular console on the market in December, as the honor belongs to the Nintendo Switch, according to the GamesIndustry.biz report.
