PS4 seems to have taken the UK away from xbox. its beating it steadily every week now.

X1 and especially PS4 still going strong, awesome.

Also can someone explain to me what happened with GT6? Why the sudden jump?

So UK likes Playstation again :)

Well, the lack of Nintendo software is depressing.. However, the fact that Mario Party Island Tour is  the best selling Nintendo-made game is even more depressing...

360 Minecraft still climbing

PS4 is here to stay!

the fact that Nintendo continue to make bad games out of good franchises is depressing =(  Well maybe Mario Golf will turn out a lot better, but Im really doubting it. Agree with you completely 

Yes.. The English  also seem to not care about quality games that much. Knack, Aliens Colonial Marines and Mario Party Island Tour are doing better than 3D World and A Link Between Worlds while the exact opposite is happening in Germany and France.
