Microsoft Sold 21 Million Xbox Series X and Series S

According to a slide shared by Microsoft at the ID@Xbox Developer Accelerator Program in Brazil, the company has sold more than 21 million Xbox Series X and Series S consoles since their launch. While this figure may seem significant, when compared to their competitors Sony and Nintendo, Microsoft's sales numbers appear relatively lower.

Microsoft has historically refrained from disclosing specific Xbox sales figures, and this could be attributed to their lower sales compared to rivals. It's worth noting that the provided data may not be up-to-date, but rather based on the latest reports available at the time.

Here is a comparison of the sales figures for Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo consoles:

- Xbox One (released in November 2013): 58 million units sold
- Xbox Series X/S (released in November 2020): 21 million units sold
- Sony PS4 (released in November 2013): 117.2 million units sold
- Sony PS5 (released in November 2020): 38.4 million units sold
- Nintendo Switch (released in March 2017): 125.6 million units sold

The Microsoft slide also highlights an interesting detail regarding the Xbox Series S, the more affordable version of their latest console. It states that 48% of Series S players are new to the Xbox ecosystem, indicating that Microsoft's strategy, particularly focusing on pricing, has been successful in attracting new users.

It's important to keep in mind that these figures might have changed since the reported data and that sales numbers can fluctuate over time.
