Microsoft’s explosive entry into the world of gaming with the Xbox console is regarded as an industry-changing move. Yet when compared to the number of units the original console sold, the number pales in comparison to Game Pass’ subscriber count.
The original iteration of Microsoft’s original console sold 24 units worldwide. Keep in mind, this also is not a small number and that the console was extremely successful in its own regard.
Nintendo GameCube, on the other hand, sold over 21 million units in its lifespan. While the Nintendo GameCube did not go down as successfully as some of the other Nintendo consoles, this console did relatively well. But again, this number, too, is still less than the Game Pass’ subscriber count.
