Microsoft happily announced that they sold more than 1 million Xbox One units during the first 24 hours of the Xbox One's launch keeping on par with Sony who also sold over 1 million PS4 units during their first 24 hours after launch despite the $100 price difference between the two consoles. So what exactly does Microsoft's sales of the Xbox One reflect in terms of gamer speak? Let's find out.

In the first 24 hours of Xbox One units being in the homes of gamers:

• Over 60 million zombies have been killed in “Dead Rising 3”
• Over 3.6 million miles driven in “Forza Motorsport 5"
• Over 7.1 million combos in “Killer Instinct”
• Over 8.5 million enemies defeated in “Ryse: Son of Rome”
• 43.3 million Fit Points earned in Xbox Fitness

Microsoft also announced that the first 24 hours of the launch of the Xbox One shattered their previous Xbox 360 record of units sold including in Europe where Xbox One sales were two to one when compared to the Xbox 360 on it's launch day.

Yup, I guess their thinking is, that the real battleground is NA, they already have Japan since no matter what the Xbox One won't do well there and the Wii U isn't much competition, and I believe Sony did pretty well in Europe last time too.

I don't see much of anything compelling me to buy either one right now.
