Xbox Series X/S Has Impressive Early Start in UK
<p>Early Xbox launch numbers have been released for the UK via a <a href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/xbox-series-x-s-was-microsofts-biggest-console-launch-in-the-uk/">VGC report</a>, and it appears the console is performing slightly ahead of what the Xbox One managed back in 2013. This makes it the largest Xbox launch ever for the region. It was also the <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-series-x-s-was-the-biggest-launch-in-xbox-history/1100-6484369/">biggest Xbox launch of all time</a>, with a global release instead of a region-stagged launch like Microsoft has done in the past. </p><p>The difference between the two generations isn't enormous, with the <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-series-x-review/1100-6484104/">Xbox Series X</a> and <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-series-s-price-specs-and-everything-we-know/1100-6481974/">Series S</a> managing to sell 155,000 units in its first two days compared to 150,000 for the Xbox One. However, when considering the supply shortages likely caused by the ongoing pandemic--and customers' tightened budgets because of it--it's promising news for Microsoft.</p><p>Industry analyst Daniel Ahmad corroborated the news on November 18, adding that this puts the systems ahead of the launch sales for the 3DS, Wii, DS, and Nintendo Switch. It puts them about 90,000 under the PS4's launch sales in the UK.</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-series-x-s-has-impressive-early-start-in-uk/1100-6484569/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
