XBO and PS4 are selling upwards of 50K units combined a week in the UK at the moment

Have anything to back that up with, besides comparing it to US sales which is irrelevent as the UK market has been getting new bundles and price cuts compared to the US?

First of all, I don't really need anything to back it up because the OP doesn't have anything to back it up.

But even then:

As I said, that's like selling 300k a week in the US (yes, valid comparison). That would be 1,500,000 (!!!) in September's NPD. Even with Destiny and the PS4 having 2nd biggest HW sales in history, they did 820,000. As I said, 2nd biggest September in history, and it's not even close.

We also have other sources like Sony saying the sold 1m in the UK recently, that the PS4 is outselling Xbox One 1.5:1 in the UK and that on FIFA week Xbox One sales increased by 155% with a drop afterwards. You can easily find articles for all of those.

So again. It's possible during FIFA and Destiny weeks. Not on a consistent basis, that's nuts.

The OP is taken from GAF which is taken from MCV. They get HW and SW from GFK! Unless you really want to say that the trakers are wrong, go ahead.

Your second to last paragraph doesn't really say much, besides that after Destiny and Fifa, there was a spike and then a drop (we don't know how much of a drop though).

Without comparing the UK market to the US market, which as of the release of Fifa has been very different in terms of price and deals, you can't say that it's not possible for 50k a week combined. It might be nuts, yes, but if the tracker says so, you can't go against them. If you do, you might as well go after NPD, as they could've then over tracked Septemers numbers.
