Very good, but expected!

If you search up the most sold items under "Video Games" on Amazon.co.uk for the whole year of 2013, you'll notice that the PS4 comes in at a much higher third place compared to the Xbox One's 37th.

hmmmm Amazon seem to have got rid of the ''days in top'' list. That did explain why PS4 is so high up compared to Xbox, PS4 has been availabale on amazon for a whole 2 months more than Xbox One. 



It's almost as if Amazon UK is stealth trolling the Xbox One. Just saying. At least the Xbox One will be in the limelight for a short while.

Love the people saying "expected" when a little bit ago everyone was saying the best we can expect is a tie

well, i always said that sony has many more "hardcore" fans even in countries like uk so that it is expected that at least the first weeks, sony has it much eaier to sell their consoles. 

even ps3 did easily show that with a crazy price. 

but what the mass market will do is another story and we really have no clue about that yet. but if xbox one will cost more as ps4 even in the next years, it will look very good for ps4



Well yes, given PS4 releases the week after it makes sense for it to be #1 that week.

They'll need all the hopeful wishing they can get. UK is xbox country. You know for a country that has so much in common with Japan (primary diet of fish and tubers, rainy island country, expensive tiny housing, weird fetishes, bad teeth) it's strange how totally opposite they are when it comes to the consoles. Good luck Sony!


As a Brit I've got to say what you've just said was a load of bullshit. Except for occasional fish and chips on a day out during the summer, our diet is far from "fish and tubers", in fact seafood is so expensive and difficult to prepare that most of us don't bother. We have occasional salmon but that's considered luxury and is imported from abroad. 

Yes the weather is wet and windy but we rarely have heavy rains like I would imagine Japan having. It just occasional light showers but because the weather tends to be grey and gloomy 6-7 months a year it gives the impression of raining all the time while it is not. Our houses aren't tiny, it depends on where you live, places like london are of course very expensive but its no where near crumped up like in Tokyo.

Bad teeth? Maybe in some remote of the country where the majorities are farmers and.... well, I doubt they visit dentist even once a year. Our NHS health care might be not entirely efficient but most of us aren't that ignorant of our health, my teeth are very even, healthy and pristine, thank you.

Weird fetishes? I'll leave it to you to elaborate on that one. 


Edit: UK is an xbox land because most of the brits here directly relate to Americans as their distant counter parts, not to mention the youth here is heavily influenced by American media like Hollywood. On top of that, both the US and UK are heavily militarilised countries, the british youth share this shoot first, fist up attitude to most problems in their life and how they view most of the world's problems in general. Shooter is the most popular genre in this country and xbox is still viewed as the shooter's console.

Also UK isn't as tolerant towards the east as EU in general does. Most people here relate themselves closely to America, American products and companies.
