PS4 and Xbox One posted incredible sales figures in the UK, with Sony coming out on top.

PlayStation 4 has sold 530,000 units in the UK in just five weeks, according to ERA (using Chart-Track data), while Xbox One has sold 364,000 units. It's a significant gap between the two competitors, although both numbers are significantly higher than any previous console launch.

PS4 hardware sales generated £181.8m on the UK High Street, while Xbox One made £144.5m. Together, that means the UK market made over £326m from next-gen console sales.

ERA director general Kim Bayley said, “Games continues to deliver digital sales strongly, but it was disappointing that Xbox One and PS4 came so late in 2013 and then huge demand meant stock sold out quickly. Retailers will be working hard in 2014 to maintain the sales momentum of these two great new pieces of kit.”

Recession? What recession?

 

I'm actually surprised that the Xbox brand seems to have lost its stronghold in the UK. I actually thought that despite the £80 price difference the Xbox One would have outsold the PS4.

i actually think the xbox one will outsell the PS4 in a few years like ps3 did with 360.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

 

The PS4 is the superior console in terms of specification and is cheaper than the Xbox One, that in itself will resonate with a lot of gamers. According to VgChartz which isn't necessarily the most reliable source, the PS4 as of the 14th of Dec has sold a million more units then the Xbox One.
