This past week I've been in Asda, Currys, HMV and Game and all 4 had PS4 deals that were much better value than their Xbone deals. M$ need to be the same price or lower to outsell the PS4..the U.K.'s a very price conscious market


What are the biggest game retailers in the UK?

MCV never reveal hardware when PS4 is on top but they did reveal the weeks XB1 was on top.


This.  You will know when the Xbox One is on top because it is always announced.

What are the biggest game retailers in the UK?


Probably Game...the 4 I listed plus Tesco and Sainsburys are probably the 6 biggest.



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

Sony really came out fighting in the UK in December. Picking up the machine for list price of £349 with Destiny/Driveclub or LBP3 and GTA5, Far cry4 and Last of US is just a crazy bundle. Something Sony America should have taken note of, because by comparison the deals that side suck. By comparison XB1 with Forsa 5, Fifa 15 added to the Assasins Creed Unity bundle for the same price make me think we definately won't be getting a number one in US and UK for December.

On a side note, poor Dragon Age. I loved that game, I hope when the dust settles it earned enough to make a sequel.

AC:U and Driveclub continue to do well thanks to bundling..probably half the X1's/PS4's sold this week had them bundled

How is it by the way that we can get weekly charts in the UK but no one in the US can provide us the same info?

Yeah, Amazon doesn't seem to be as big of a deal in UK as in the US.  And it seems like a lot of the retailers you listed often have better deal period.
