Xbox One Breaks Sales Records In Australia

Xbox One

The Xbox One has become the fastest selling video games console in Australia.

Market research firm NPD Group have revealed that the Xbox One sold 65,917 units in its first three days on sale in Australia. This figure is more than double the amount the Nintendo Wii earned back in 2006 which was the previous record holder.

It’s being said the PS4 fell short of the Xbox One’s record over in Australia as Sony couldn’t ship all of the pre-orders in time. Not to mention the PS4’s first shipments were sold out well before the November 29th launch date.

In either case, it’s great to see that both consoles are doing well around the world. I didn’t really want to see a video game future full of smartphones and tablets as some analysts predicted a few months ago…
