It's not in the article.

"Sales of both next-gen consoles were up sharply week-on-week in the UK last week as retailers offered some great Black Friday deals.

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."

It's right there.

lol ignore him. he chooses to ignore it



Praise the One.

I see ioi adjusting last weeks UK numbers when he reads the article.

He will, but not necessarily to XB1>PS4. Even if he does do that that doesn't mean it's true. We all know ioi doesn't get the data MCV gets, and MCV didn't claim XB1 won last week.


and ps4 did not shipped 13.5m units unitl end of septmeber...

Thanks for showing your true colors with a thoroughly flawed comparison. Just lol.

Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Oh I'm aware of everything in this thread but it appears like you aren't. Don't repeat something I've already answered please: 

""Again" is referring to their last report, when they said XB1 had been ahead for 3 weeks."

Good for X1. I wonder how long it will last though, there is absolutely nothing to move systems for a long time now, unless MS have another price cut.

Now that X1 has won 5 weeks in a row, I hope we get an article from MCV the next time PS4 wins a week. Won't hold my breath though


The biggest myth of console sales.  Nice back catalog and consumers knowing new software is on its way in general will keep sales moving.  Otherwise the PS4 would be having a dismal holiday season sales wise.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

does visible now euqals better?
http://www.hotukdeals.com/search?action=search&keywords=console

Ps4 + 1 free game 289
Ps4 + 5 free games (one of them just minecraft) 349
Ps4 plain for 279

but im not suprised by u, because u  also think "edging again this week" does not equal "edging last week, too"
and xb1 does not sold 500k units in septmeber.

that's how ninsect aka pesuz act...

That 289 deal is new. PS4 was 299 on BF with a game/2 games.

Haha I admit XB1 sold 500k in September FFS. It was a prediction and I was wrong. 

And I'm out of this thread now that I've had my say but don't act like you're not biased lol.


that 289 deal is not new

Don't understand why you're continuing to argue over this pezus..the use of "again" is 100% confirmation that it won last week. So much unnecessary drama in this thread lolz



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015
