Microsoft will never disclose Xbox Series X sales – even if the console bypasses the PlayStation 5

Corporation Microsoft does not plan to disclose sales Xbox series x and Xbox series s even if the new consoles will be significantly bypassed in popularity Playstation 5 from Sony… About it Phil Spencer told in an interview with the publication The guardian

“I can promise you that I will not do this,” the top manager emphasized.

Spencer recalled that Microsoft’s key success metrics remain the total number of active users in its games, which are available on consoles, PC and in the cloud for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. She will use them as the main metric.

“I know this approach may seem manipulative to some, but I don’t want my team to think only about console sales. We’re looking at how many players were able to attract to the Xbox brand and how often they play. This is the main result of the work that we do. It is he who helps us move on. “

According to Spencer, the brand must move with a united front.

“So we only disclose the number of players. I want us to be guided by that, and not by how many individual pieces of plastic sold. And I will stick to that position.”

Earlier today, Microsoft announced that sales of the Xbox Series X and S for the first day were record-breaking for the brand, but did not reveal the numbers. It is known that the previous record belonged to the Xbox One. Then Microsoft sold more than 1 million consoles in less than 24 hours
