Forums - Sales Discussion - Xbox One wins Black Friday in the UK, sales double

Sales of both next-gen consoles were up sharply week-on-week in the UK last week as retailers offered some great Black Friday deals.

Overall games hardware sales (both consoles and handhelds) soared past 300k units, a retail source has told MCV. Home console sales in the UK are at this point double were they were at the same stage in 2013, although the handheld market is down by almost a third.

Both the PS4 and Xbox One saw sales double week-on-week, with Xbox One again just edging ahead of its rival.

Was at game at 12 on black friday and saw 10-20 ps4 being bought, where as the Xbox one sold out in minutes and i had to collect next day (i know not representative of the UK), i think we shall see the xbox overtake the PS4 in the coming months.



 

 

Also XB1 won last week.


We have PS4 > XB1



 

Awesome news. Xbone sales should be around 100k. My prediction is looking more and more likely.. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=191704

As I said at the time, the ONE number was too low in the UK on the weekly VGC chart

Remember that thread where it was "PS4 Domination".... lmao.  Ooops... wrong.

9m end of Nov confirmed?
