Microsoft's Xbox One X had as strong a launch as the Nintendo Switch in the UK

The first week sales of Xbox One X is over 80,000 in the United Kingdom, GamesIndustry.biz reveals.
Retailers have shared data that reveal that Microsoft’s new super-powered console has sold as many units in its first week as Nintendo Switch did in March (hardware figures are up-weighted 20%. Xbox One X raw data is at 67,000).
It’s first week sales are also well ahead of PS4 Pro, which did a little over 50,000 back in November 2016. Indeed, it took PS4 Pro four weeks to reach the same number. The majority of sales were for the special Project Scorpio version of the machine.
It is nice to see the Xbox One X do well after the console has been criticized due to its sales since 2013 and the lack of first party exclusives in 2017.
The best-selling Xbox One game of the week was Call of Duty: WWII, followed by Assassin’s Creed Origins (which was promoted with the system), FIFA 18 and the Forza duo: Forza Motorsport 7 and Forza Horizon 3.
