Microsoft have revealed that more than 8.45 million gamers tuned in to watch the Xbox One reveal during the first 24 hours. A strong number and perhaps also an indication that Microsoft hit a broader audience than the core gamers who were up in arms following the broadcast.
"Nielsen reports over 1.73 million people tuned into our briefing on SPIKE TV and the Xbox Reveal event was the #1 television show for Men 18-34 at 10 am on May 21."
The show also trended well, just behind the NBA Playoffs on Twitter.
