The Xbox One has sold upwards of 100,000 units since its launch last week, Chinese media has reported.

Shanghai Media Group vice-president Zhang Dazhong said that the 100,000 units sold puts the 1 million sale target in an optimistic light, and it is expected to be achieved within a year.

Dazhong also said the 100,000 unit number includes pre-orders made for the console before it launched.

The Xbox One launched in China last week on September 29, and was the first Western console made available since China lifted a ban on consoles late last year.
