Today, Microsoft is confirming that the company made more than 5,000 units of the Band, contrary to a report posted on another media outlet, but stopped short of stating just how many Band devices have been sold.



From Windows Central:

The report came from Microsoft Product Reviews, which stated that a company support employee for the Band said over the phone, "Microsoft only had 5,000 of them for the launch." However, as many of us know, support employees are not always reliable when it comes to offering news about a product. Today, Microsoft sent Windows Central the following statement:

"We are excited by the response we have seen to Microsoft Band and while Microsoft does not comment on production volumes, we have sold well beyond the numbers suggested to date. We are working to get devices into the hands of customers as quickly as possible and expect shipments of Microsoft Band to continue arriving in Microsoft Stores throughout the holiday season. People are encouraged to visit their local Microsoft Store to place an order, and they will be able to pick up a Band when it arrives. Customers can also visit MicrosoftStore.com to sign up to receive notification when the device is available online."
