Overall games hardware sales (both consoles and handhelds) soared past 300k units, a retail source has told MCV. Home console sales in the UK are at this point double were they were at the same stage in 2013, although the handheld market is down by almost a third. Both the PS4 and Xbox One saw sales double week-on-week, with Xbox One again just edging ahead of its rival. This continues Xbox One’s recent momentum, which has seen it reach 1m sales in the UK a little over 2m months afterPS4 did the same, although it falls short of the barnstorming victory Microsoft’s machine apparently saw in the US over the weekend. The gap between Xbox One and PS4 continues to narrow, with Xbox One deals a more visible presence than either PS4 or Wii U both on the High Street and online this weekend.

then last weeks numbers for PS4 are probably over tracked as well.

What is it? They buy Pokemon, Wii and DS yet hate Nintendo?

Ever thought they just don't think WiiU is a good deal or whatever else you're insinuating sold poorly?

Wow! Both consoles doubling their sales? This generation is so exciting.

I am constantly surprised by Xbone's performance in the UK... it is doing extraordinarily. PS4 is doing great too, but the Xbox brand is putting up one hell of a fight there!

Well they obviously think that, for whatever reason.

I don't think I've been 'insinuating' anything else selling poorly have I so what is that even supposed to mean?

Haha, I love how people always act like the UK is anti-Nintendo. Nintendo produce like one system seller every 6months, the Wii U's sales are right where the should be lol

P.S; we lap up Nintendo hardware when they're actually worth the asking price ;)

As someone said XB1 had way better deals with 4 games bundled for the same price as PS4 with one game bundled.

You're just downplaying the PS4's success so far if you think that the past week is the only one that counts. Btw you should remember that this is a former Xbox territory soXB1 should outseliing it by a huge margin.

Let's just go ahead and call ps4 numbers last week in the UK overtrack..shall we?
