Well, the next-gen is here as both the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S have now hit the market. The hype is almost unreal right now as reviews of games, the console itself, and even the controllers have started flooding the internet. But how did these consoles acutely do on launch day? Well, we don’t have any info on the PS5 as it did just release today but if what Xbox head, Phil Spencer has to say is true then the launch of the Xbox Series X/S is the largest launch in Xbox history. Even though the console did not release with Halo Infinite, it still managed outsell every Xbox to come before the Series X/S.

The full figures aren’t know as yet but analyst Daniel Ahmed did point out that the Xbox One did sell about 1 million units in 24 hours and if the Series X beat that out, then it definitely must be upwards of a million units, at the very least. The full officially numbers have not been released so this is still all speculation, as of now.
