The next-gen showdown continues as the Xbox One matches the PS4 with over a million sales in 24 hours
Microsoft has announced that the One is now sold out at most retailers after going on sale in 13 countries on Friday, 11 more however than its next-gen rival.
Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of marketing and strategy for Xbox, said: "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."
However the Xbox One has not been without problems with a majority of gamers complaining that their £429 consoles have been “bricked” – halted to a stop after downloading a day one update.
Gamers are complaining about an E100 error message which seemingly isn’t an easy fix.
When contacted by Sky News, a Microsoft spokesman was unable to say how many users have been affected. "If a user is experiencing a stall for more than 10 minutes when connecting to Xbox Live to take the day one update they should contact Xbox customer support and we will work with them to troubleshoot and get them up and running," he said.
Microsoft said that in the 24 hours after the Xbox Ones launch, gamers killed over 60 million zombies in Dead Rising 3, drove more than 3.6 million miles in Forza Motorsport 5 and defeated 8.5 million foes in Ryse: Son of Rome.
