Good Luck.
Microsoft's new games console, the Xbox One, sold more than one million consoles 24 hours its release. It has sold in most the 13 countries that were selling it. Many people waited stores overnight to buy it. Company executives said it was an exciting product and the best console they have ever made. Microsoft spokesman Yusuf Mehdi said: "Seeing thousands excited fans lined to get their Xbox One, and their love gaming, was truly a special moment everyone on the Xbox team." He added: "We are working hard to create more Xbox One consoles and look forward to fulfilling holiday gift wishes this season."

Many Xbox One customers were disappointed buying the console. They saw error messages soon they switched the machine and uploaded an update. The update caused the machine to "brick". This is a gaming word, which means to become useless. Microsoft explained to Britain's Sky News what users needed to do. It said: "If a user is experiencing a stall more than 10 minutes…they should contact Xbox customer support and we will work them to troubleshoot and get them and running." Microsoft needs to act quickly because its big rival Sony also has a new console – the PlayStation 4. It is $80 cheaper than the Xbox One and gamers are calling it a "pure gaming machine".
