Xbox One crosses million sold mark in under 24 hours, ‘biggest launch in Xbox history’

Posted in: Today's Chili

Microsoft’s Xbox One launch has seen some bumps in the road but the company has announced it’s already sold more than a million consoles worldwide. Last week, Sony announced the PS4 sold more than one million units in the US and Canada in less than a day, but at this point, Microsoft has not made any such regional distinctions. Still, the “biggest launch in Xbox history” is well under way and already outpacing its predecessor’s initial numbers — day one download and all — so let us know if you’re one of the 1 million strong with a Day One Achievement on your record, or if you’re looking elsewhere for gaming this holiday season.

EE hits one million 4G customers four months ahead of goal

Posted in: Today's Chili

EE draws 318,000 3 percent of its customers to 4G, says its on track

EE said it wanted to have a million 4G customers by the end of the year, but it won’t have to wait nearly that long. The UK carrier just topped that mark four months ahead of its stated deadline while its competitors are just getting off the starting blocks. O2 and Vodafone both fired up their respective LTE networks less than two weeks ago, while Three’s won’t launch until December. Despite having been the only game in town until recently, EE claims the UK’s adoption of 4G has been one of the world’s fastest so far. It seems like there’s a lot more technofreaks out there than Vodafone imagined.

Posted in: Today's Chili

If you want to laugh out loud at the ridiculousness of being rich and feel embarrassed about your bank account at the same time, here’s a little exercise for you. Type $100,000 in a notepad app. That’s a lot of money! Then type that 10 times in a row for a million. Even more money! And finally, type $100,000 10,000 times for a billion. Yeah.

Sina Weibo passes 500 million user mark, how's your site coming along

Remember those halcyon days last November when Sina Weibo passed more than 400 million users? Well, a mere three months later, and the microblogging site can now boast that it’s got 503 million compulsive over-sharers. To put that figure into perspective, were “Chinese Twitter” to be its own country, it would be the third most populous nation on Earth. While it should be celebrating such figures, there’s a few signs of trouble on the horizon, as local rival Tencent’s WeChat hit 300 million users last month — not to mention some disgruntled former users inviting people to switch to Twitter.

Nexus 7 sales clocking in at close to a million per month

Posted in: Today's Chili

DNP It's official, Nexus 7 sales clocking in at close to a million a month

While it was pretty clear that ASUS’ Google-partnered Nexus 7 contributed heavily to the Taiwanese maker’s healthy Q3 results, there was no official confirmation on its exact sales figures so far. ASUS CFO David Chang has now come clean and told the WSJ that the 7-incher is close to touching the one million per month mark, just about double the rate of sales at its launch. While this number is a fraction of the iPad’s sales (14 million in the last quarter alone), it could well go up due to the recent price drop and the addition of new 32GB models to the portfolio. On the flip side, the Nexus 7 is sure to face heat from close rivals, the Kindle Fire HD and the 7.9-inch Apple iPad mini, while the mega-spec Nexus 10 will also entice some buyers away from ASUS’ reach.
