Last week, the Xbox One family of consoles accounted for 71 percent of all hardware sales, which was up by 76 percent on the same time last year. While the PlayStation 4 consoles took just 19 percent of the market, which was down by 66% compared last year.

The sales data are particularly impressive for the Xbox One consoles given that the PS4 Slim was launched on September 15, and apparently made a little forward movement on the Xbox One S, which first rolled out in August.

Launch week sales figures of Xbox One S consoles were better by 361%, rather than the launch week of the PlayStation 4 Slim. The sales of Xbox One are also revealed to have mount up by 989% from the week before the release of Xbox One S, according to Metro.

However, video game sales data are never usually shown to the public, but the GfK Chart-Track (a market research company that monitors the sales of music, software and videos) unveiled the game sales figures. The market research company described the sales of PS4 Slim as slow, MCV reported.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer stated that the goal of the Xbox team was to figure out how could they sell 200 million game consoles. They have never seen a console sells that many units. The PS2, which was the biggest individual console, did 120 million or something back then.

The approach that the Xbox team took was individuals are moving to OTT Video Services and television's getting disrupted, and if they could build a console that could be the focus of this transition and really embrace not only people playing video games, based on the report of Game Spot.

Anyway, one of the major reasons for the success of the Xbox One S was the bundle of the association football video game, "FIFA 17," in which Microsoft allowed people to play the game a week early.
