XOne above PS4 in the UK is believable, countless retailers said that it was going to be neck-and-neck this year and it is. 

Is it really believable? I don't think so.

This is the most close week in Amazon.uk: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/2015-03-09/videogames/ref=zg_bs_tab_t_bsar

#15 PS4
#59 PS4 White
#95 Xbone

Its not believeable to me. I think the numbers are off.

Amazon is not as good an indicator in the UK as it is in the US, for whatever reason. If it was, PS4 would outsell X1 over 2:1 every week, but we know that is far from being the case

It is for positions... not numbers.

Another proof? November 2014.

Xbone > PS4 and what turned out? I don't remember lol

More?

December 2014... PS4 > Xbone.

Ohhhh wait Xbone won November but PS4 won December like GKF said.

Yeap.... PS4 > Xbone in UK.



Ahh... this is pre bloodborne...



I wonder if it's really worth commenting these numbers.
They are a month late, and then so obviously incorrect, with PS4 dropping from previous week with no apparent reason, and XOne rising over 20%.
Maybe they should have delayed the report a few more days to adjust the numbers.

Yes good for positions, but a lot worse at indicating the gap in numbers between the two.

Doesn't matter.

PS4 is above XBO in the US in the pre The Order released.

PS4 is above XBO in the US when The Order is released, and in pre BloodBorne released.

That's in US, when XBO cost less than PS4 (and US is a better market for XBO than UK even at the same price).

 

This numbers is unrealistic...

Yeap... I didn't mean the gap itself because it can be PS4 ahead with only 1k units.

But the position with Xbone > PS4 is wrong... just that.

PS4 sold more than Xbone that week in UK.

PS. I don't think PS4 sold less than Xbone any week of 2015 in UK.



Thanks for updating the numbers ioi :). It was a long wait but I am sure you are happy that we can complain now about the numbers you updated :).

The PS4 is down and I agree that it should be higher than it is, but they have changed the XOne numbers. It now has several weeks over 100k and is in fact 10k lower than the week before.
