Considering Xbox won November in the UK, I'd say it IS neck and neck. And I wish people would stop using their local stores as an example, they don't mean anything in the grand scheme of things.


'our largest supermarket Tesco' as largest in the country, as in Tesco direct online , my local store isn't posting up a bestsellers chart outside the door every week... I guess my bad for not being clear enough to such an extent I overcame your desire to be condensing.

The Amazon chart isnt anywhere near as indicative as it is in the US and your local Tesco isn't even worth mentioning.

Nobody knows how it is exactly.

They will be very close to each other either way, which is an excellent recovery here by the ONE.

Local store? Dude, c'mon. And if Xbox isn't even listed in a top 100 at Xmas(!) then its not exactly a trustworthy list. I imagine PS4 is winning but not by the margins its been used to...at least worldwide. Obviously in the US the One is selling more than the PS4 week after week since black friday.

XBO overtracked in EU. Titanfall bundle is still available in some stores in my country.

Wow, your store is a perfect indicator of a whole continent! Where is it?

Stop saying "condensing", I dont think it is what you actually want to say. But yes, you didnt make it clear so it is your own fault if people jumped on you for it. If you are going to make a thread, its up to you to make it clear.

Anyhow.... the OFFICIAL tracker has the ONE ahead for 5 weeks straight, no reason to suggest that has changed in the last two weeks.

Thanks.

Where is this offical tracker you speak of?

And sorry my mistake again, you were, and are, attempting to be condesening. That fact you don't realise may be why it isn't working...

sigh..

GFk  they have a site that is freely available and are reported every week by MCV and others.  They have stated that the ONE outsold the PS4 each and every week in November and into December.

I think we are done.

 

No no you've been very helpful but i'm glad we're done, you're really no fun at all.

I think one thing worth considering is the crazy amount of bundles that are currently for sale in the UK. There is a reason that the PS4 is in such a bad place on that list and the XB1 is completely missing.

The PS4 has 7 different bundles directly sold by amazon, each one counts as seperate sales. And there are a ton more not sold by amazon directly.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Xbox-One-Console-Essentials-Edition/dp/B00KJFDSLE/ref=zg_bs_2785502031_2

The XB1 has 27 different bundles directly sold by amazon, each one counts as seperate sales. And there are a ton more not sold by amazon directly.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Xbox-One-Console-Essentials-Edition/dp/B00KJFDSLE/ref=zg_bs_2785502031_2

Looking at current sales where we can see past the top 100.
The PS4 has 2 bundles in the top 100 and the XB1 has 4 bundles in the top 100.
The PS4 has 6 bundles in the top 1000 and the XB1 has 15 bundles in the top 1000.

Currently the top 6 PS4 bundles have the following rankings.
41
65
108
120
836
983

Currently the top 15 XB1 bundles have the following rankings.
54
58
89
97
102
145
223
303
317
412
615
654
761
824
874

I don't really know what the cut off for significant sales is. I don't think anyone knows. But whether it is the top 100 or top 200 or top 300 it seems the ps4 and xb1 are very much currently neck and neck unless there are huge gaps between skus in similar places.
Obviously we can't look past the top 100 for last weeks numbers. But I'd imagine it's very similar with the ps4 having the best selling sku but the XB1 having more sku's that are selling decently.

Wow thanks that's an awesome amount of effort, they look pretty neck and neck atm, very interesting
