It had an advantage to begin with and most probably, even X1 won a few weeks, that wasn't enough to overtake the PS4 in total. PS4 also had amazing deals as Xbone so what helped Xbone in US didn't happen in UK because Sony fought way better here as it seems.

Yes, I realise that but I'm talking about sales this week, not 'overall'. Like I said, because of the top 10 I reckon the PS4 will have won this week, but I'm not certain that tweet is verfiying that.

Looks like PS4 is back on top, roll on the next 10 months. :)

Well certainly January, February and March. I'd wait to see if MS decide to drop the price again to call it a 10 month streak though.

When Xbox is on top they mention it. Any other week it's safe to assume PS4 is on top.

Sunset Overdrive is back in the individual charts. Hooray.

Wonder which console won this week.

Looks like the PS4 has a slight since they they've the number 1 and number 3 spots and a huge amount of Driveclub bundles sold. Althoug many of the AC U for Xone could be bundled too since the games scores better on Xone than for PS4. I would say a small win for the PS4 around 5-10k 



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Yep, Sony fought back efficiently in UK and it's definitely paying out for them! I see it as the winning console in UK this gen but the difference won't be as big as 360 to PS3.

That's still not confirmation that the PS4 outsold the XB1 though. I believe it probably did but he seems to be just stating the install base is larger rather than it won this week.

That is because the UK is part of Europe and Sony always does well in Europe although UK seems a bit like a split market for some reason. It did help the Xone but not enough and Sony will soon secure the UK with the order and bloodborne.

I agree, Sony got big exclusives in first half so they are going to be big for next few months until E3 and then we have to see what MS gonna do it with Xb1 price and exclusives (Tomb raider, Quantum break and Halo 5 in next half).



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

I think it's safe to assume that PS4 won as there is no mention of Xbox One's conquest.  

Every week for the past few weeks someone has written this. And every week for the past few weeks VGC shows Xb one marginally ahead. Perhaps MVC have decided Xb one ahead is the norm now and it's only worth noting if a console other than Xb one is on top for the week.
