Microsoft has sold 21 million Xbox Series consoles

Microsoft has sold more than 21 million units of the Xbox Series X and S consoles. The company reported this during a Brazilian Xbox presentation. The company rarely says how many consoles it has sold. Sony shipped almost twice as many PlayStation 5 consoles.

From the slides, which were shared by Twitter user Idle Sloth, it is not clear how many Series S or X consoles Microsoft has sold individually. The company only mentions a total number of more than 21 million. Microsoft does say that 48 percent of Series S customers are new to the Xbox platform.

The company also says it has sold a total of more than 79 million Series and One consoles, or 58 million Xbox One consoles and 21 million Series consoles. Microsoft previously said that the PlayStation 4 sold more than twice as much as the Xbox One, which matches these figures. The same trend seems to apply to the Series consoles and PlayStation 5. On the basis of Sony’s annual figures the company has sold 38.4 million units of the PlayStation 5 through April this year.

Furthermore, the figures show that there are 248.6 million active ‘Windows gaming PCs’ and that 168.3 million users use the Windows Store monthly. The number of Windows Store users grew by three percent last year. Of the PC users, 15.6 million people use the Xbox PC app monthly, which is an annual growth of twenty percent.

In the presentation, the company also discussed its Game Pass subscription. There are now more than four hundred console games in the subscription and more than three hundred PC games. More than three hundred games from this collection can be streamed. In South Korea, one in three users would only use game streaming. This is striking; The company previously said that game streaming is currently only used to a limited extent.
