what a silly weekly dig about PS4 sales it is

the important thing is that the PS4 is the best selling next gen console in the UK,who cares if demand goes down

the PS4 has taken over from the 360,good job sony taking that market share back in the UK,the second most important microsoft market


I still don't get why the Uk market is considered by some as more important than the Japanese one. Every week, apart from big game releases, the top title of the worldwide software chart is a japanese game. And whenever we get numbers for the top selling game in the UK, it's always siginifcantly less than sometimes even the entire top 10 of the Japanese chart. Or maybe I'm wrong. That's the impression I get.

well it is not as important as japan at all,i think most people would agrees,obviously japan is unique for many reasons including that is where nintendo & sony are from

but this is the Uk thread and it is the biggest market in europe for consoles and obviously important to microsoft since they cut the price and bundled titabnfall  selling at a pretty hefty loss i'd say to stay level with the PS4

It is significant for 2 reasons.

1) VGC tracks it individually

2) only other significant market aside from the US where MS isn't gettin destroyed.   Why talk about any other European market or Japan...  no point. 

I mean when people reference a game, in a market where it is being given away for free, as having strong legs, you know things are dire....

So awesome to see a vita game charting. Yes, it might be 5 copies, but still. We'll take it. Though it's funny how a game like Virtua Tennis 4 charted higher and appeared on the charts a few times. Still, better than nothing :)


Better still it's the 3rd of 4th Vita game to chart this year. Which is more than 2013 had already I think.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Minecraft is like a miley cyus record, somehow sells millions without ever knowing anyone who actually owns a copy..
