The previous largest launch for the Xbox brand was the Xbox One which sold over 1 million units in 24 hours across 13 launch markets. We can infer Series X|S is over 1m from this. Although not too surprising given it launched in 37 markets. Hopefully Microsoft shares hard data

Thank you for supporting the largest launch in Xbox history. In 24 hrs more new consoles sold, in more countries, than ever before. We’re working with retail to resupply as quickly as possible. You continue to show us the connective power of play is more important than ever.

The Xbox Series X|S is launching in a much better position against the PS5 than the Xbox One did against the PS4. It has a two tiered console pitch, more launch markets and no controversy this time. Demand is high and it should be supply constrained through end of year.

Series X is the more popular of the two consoles at launch, given it's mostly enthusiasts buying right now, but as time goes on the Series S will grow its share as its value as a next gen machine with Game Pass becomes apparent. We expect the consoles to track better than XB1.

Don’t think he was saying a million units but they had the largest launch “in the most countries”. If it was 1 million he probably would have said it so I’m thinking he is just referring to the fact they sold in more countries right away this time
