Forums - Sales - Xbox One sells 1 Million in the UK, outsells PS4 3 Weeks in a row

WhiteEaglePL on 20 November 2014

That's surprising. But maybe in North London is where PS4 is the more popular one....

I'd like Xbox to outsell PS4 by the end of the gen. MS can do it. It's still possible.

Btw, this just underlines that the german PS4 announcement was sold through even more. About 2.3m (maybe more depending on where the PS4 stands) PS4s+X1s sold in the UK in mid November versus about 1.2m PS4s+X1s in Germany in mid October. Very plausible.

If Xbone only outsold the PS4 the last three weeks after the 1m announce then you can be sure PS4 number is around 1.4m.

1.4m UK

1m Germany

Seems right.

I'm just curious about the others countries.

France should be somewhat close to Germany at least, maybe we'll get a 1 million announcement from there as well soon

Pretty impressive. All the deals and recent games have really payed off.

Sales between Week 37, 2014 and Week 46, 2014 - 334,000
Average weekly for weeks between 37 and 46 - 33,400

That is a really great average and before the week 44 the PS4 was outselling it... so the PS4 avg. could be something like and it is undertracked a lot here too.

Well after the 250k in Germany.


That also means that XBone probably sold nearly as much in the UK last month as it did in the US, which is absolutely batshit. IIRC Kowen made some comment a month or two ago that these kinds of numbers were basically impossible, like Black Friday every week basically.

Ethomaz,it is overtracked by 50k in usa according to npd!The overtracking comes from the last week of October(i think, you said that and from a research i did it seems logic)91k->41k.In the first week of Nov ioi tripled the 91k->273k+++ so a 150k overtracking?(41k*3=123k)50+150=200k overtracking in usa?if i m right(you will say if i am) then it counterbalances the undertracking in uk!

Prepare for next weeks adjustments:

PS4: 150k down
X1: 130k down
Wii U 200k up

The 50k avg per week between PS4 and Xbone was really true... that just shows how bad VGC tracking situation right now is.

And not... there is nothing impossible in these numbers... Kowen is wrong again.

Nice, 1 million for Xbox One in the UK in less than a year! I didn't expect this to be honest. Great news.


51 weeks :D

52 weeks to be fair... 6 weeks in 2013 and 46 in 2014.


This number has to be as of 15th November (end of last week tracking period).
Because this week is not over yet and no1 knows the overall figures for this week already.

And that would also fit the 3 weeks outselling statement. Sunset week, CoD week and Halo + Asscreeed week.
Xbox One was released on 22th November 2013. So 51 weeks.

 

The Ps4 announcement was at 9th September, so the numbers were as of 6th September. Total of 42 weeks (PS4 was released one week after Xb1
The Ps4 reached the 1m goal 9 weeks earlier.

edit:
Mcv said 42 weeks for ps4. Maybe my math is wrong
