PS4 has sold 1m units in the UK, making it the second fastest selling home console of all time.

The machine reaches the figure after 42 weeks. Wii managed the same feat in 38 weeks.

By comparison, PS2 hit 1m in 50 weeks and Xbox 360 took 60 weeks to hit that target. PS3 was quite quick to 1m, selling to that number by week 46.

And UK MD Fergal Gara has told MCV that many of the customers that have picked up PS4 have come over from Xbox.

"We have certainly seen PS3 consumers come across quite hard and fast," he said.

"But a very significant proportion are people we have never seen on our network before. And from their behaviour and the types of games they are playing, it’s fairly clear that a big chunk of those have come across from Xbox, which is tremendous to see.

Props to VGC for spot on tracking, maybe 10-15k overtracked, which is only 1-1,5% error margin.

Of course congrats to Sony as well, nice that we are getting sales update before Destiny. 1m UK, 100k Poland.

It used to be only our cars, now our consoles! Nobody buys American anymore huh?

I feel XBOne will make a comeback though. Wait until it becomes more readily available across the world...

PS4 only second best?

Console gaming is doomed!

There's always an exception to everything... :P

Plus this is sort of a trick question. EVERYTHING inside an Apple product gets made in China. It's almost like asking if a Chinese person makes pancakes, is it considered Chinese food?

SCEE have increased their focus on Europe and that has helped them a lot.

Congrats2u PS4.

Congrats Sony! I wonder when xb1 will reach 1m in the UK?

going by that you can pretty much only buy Chinese consoles since last gen
