PS4 was the UK's best-selling console in 2014
Sony has added to its global PS4 sales info by confirming the console’s UK success in 2014.
The platform holder says GfK Chart-Track data shows that PS4 was the UK’s best-selling console in 2014 and also the best-selling machine on both Black Friday and Cyber Monday in November.
It was also the best-selling console in the final week of the year and the best-selling across November and December combined, although it has previously been claimed that Xbox One was the best-selling machine in November alone.
Earlier today Sony said that PS4 has now sold 18.5m PS4sworldwide.
The most recent Xbox One count had the console pegged at 10m shipped, not sold, as of November.
PS4 hit 1m UK sales in early September while Xbox One reached the same total in late November.
Microsoft’s machine enjoyed a few spells of superiority in the UK in 2014, both immediately after yet another UK price cut and for Black Friday week ending November 29th.
Speculation suggests Xbox One put in a strong showing in the US late in the year, although PS4 is almost certain to be crowned as the region’s best-selling 2014 machine.
