3,9 million Xbox One units sold in the end of 2013

Good news for Microsoft. According to the company's report, 3,9 million units of their latest console were sold in the end of 2013.  If the 3,5 million Xbox 360 units sold are taking into account, the results surpass the expectations. These and others good surprises have made Microsoft's profits grow 2,8% up to $6,55 billion. 

These results are positive for the head of the company, Steve Ballmer, who has been attacked many times and is about to quit the post. Nevertheless, Xbox One's brilliant results is still not enough to meet PS4 performance. Sony sold 4,2 million PS4 units in the same period of time. It is true that Xbox One is distributed  is fewer countries, but PS4 has not landed yet in Japan, where is expected to perform well. Anyway; Microsoft's good results are another sign of hope for an industry that seemed stuck.
