Microsoft yesterday can't wait to announce that his home Xbox One home game host will be shipped "soon" to 10 million units ... Cough, note that Microsoft is talking about shipments to retailers, not sales to end consumers.

Sony, who had already announced 3 months ago at the Cologne Games show that PlayStation 4 had topped 10 million, and that sales of PlayStation 4 had exceeded Xbox One for 9 months, with total sales reaching 13.5 million units.

But Microsoft says the situation will soon be over.

"With the advent of the Christmas shopping season, Xbox One led the sales of the eighth-generation gaming machine in the past two weeks," said Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft's equipment and studio director. ”

Of course, Yusuf Mehdi also admits that the rise in Xbox one sales was largely due to the 50-dollar Sales price reduction (the bundle of Kinect models dropped from 499 to $449, and the not-yet-bundled Kinect model dropped from 399 to $349). After the price cut, Xbox one's sales in the United States increased by more than twice times the previous week.

Microsoft's Xbox was very cold at the beginning, with a range of harsh settings in addition to 499 of dollars in pricing, such as the inability to connect to the Kinect, and the free use of Netflix and other apps to Xbox Live Gold members. So PS4 sales have been pressing across the Xbox One. Since the beginning of this year, Microsoft has gradually loosened the restrictions in the user's opposition. In May this year, Microsoft launched a "no Kinect" version of Xbox one selling price to $399 trillion.

Sony PS4 's retail price remained at the level it had just launched last year: 399 dollars.

Microsoft now hopes that the "Halo" game will help Xbox One boost sales.
