It's just UK. You should put that in the thread title.

And whilst good we have no idea what it was like beforehand, so it's pretty meaningless. Particularly as other systems have increased somewhat, due to Christmas and Cyber Monday and all that. So, it looks good and it's a positive trend, but I'm not yet jumping the gun on this one.

I guess it is UK because MCV but it is the press so I don't have the original source and the other didn't say which region.

I have no issue with the numbers, but with the interpretation, which is a quote from Sony.

A system increased in sales during the period of late November into early December. There couldn't possibly be any other reason for that ... no sir ... lol.

Wii U sales probably increased the same amount in the same period, guess they're being helped by the PS4 also.

Is that year on year or week on week?

Week on week I guess.

Some maths using UK numbers...

Week before PS4 launch: 4,340
Week PS4 launch: 7,291
Week after: 12,030

That's mens at least 10k undertracked in UK in the last two weeks.

That's exactly what I came to say..
And where the hell is that PS4/VITA Gaming bundle scheduled for December release ? Couldn't they spare some units to form the bundle ?
