Demand is exceeding supply in our 13 launch markets and Xbox One is sold out at most retailers. We\u2019re also particularly excited to see consumers engaging in a wide range of games and entertainment experiences on the platform, with more than 1 million paid transactions on Xbox Live to date,” said Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of strategy and marketing, Xbox.
