NO CHANCE!?

Maybe you don't remember that One time PS4 was at 1.5:1 with XBO, this Holiday the Gap is decrease, but in the other's months will increase... Also PS4 will be in the market for more time.

In the UK it was never 1.5:1. X1's UK sales were massively undertracked on this site for much of 2014, until around September or October I think.

By end of Jen 14 PS4 was at 1,5:1 with XBO and NOT ACCORDING TO VGCHARTZ it was confirmed.

Oh yeah found the source but that was a year ago. Since then we've had Kinectless XB1 and pricing is ridiculously competitive. Not to mention growing exclusive libraries.

But this is the fact, this year XBO was at -100$ dropped, have released MUCH MORE exclusives than PS4 and the bandle too... I See that when PS4 will cost 300$ and the exclusive will released the Gap will increase... also PS5 will release 1/2 years after XBT.

Maybe not 2:1 but still...

The UK market isn't as big as it used to be, and France and Germany are getting close in size.

8m - PS4
7m - Xbox One
1m - Wii U

Predict this gen's LT console sales in the UK! I'll start off: 

PS4: 9.2m 

X1: 8m 

Wii U: 1.75m (and I'm being generous there) 

This isn't what you hope for, but what you expect to happen! 

For reference, last-gen UK numbers: 

XBox 360: 9.02m 

Wii: 8.65m 

PS3: 6.02m 

 

Predict and discuss away!

2.16 million gen on gen growth for PS/Xb combined? I don't think so. PS3+Xb 360 = 15.04 million. I think they will be lucky to get past 16 million this gen, possibly not even that. If Xb one continues to perform dismally outside of NA and UK I don't see Xb one being on the market as long as 360.

8 million PS4, 7 million Xb one I think is where it will be.

Wii U, doesn't really matter.
