It’s only April, but already Sony and Microsoft have sold a combined 350,000 PlayStation 4 and Xbox One units in the UK this year.

A report, released by MCV, unfortunately does not separate the sales, meaning there is no way to determine how many units each console sold individually. They mentioned that store data, which they used to compile their report, does not accurately differentiate between the two. Even so, those are pretty big numbers after only a few months into 2015.

Last month, it was reported that around 20.2 million PS4 units have been sold worldwide since the console’s late 2013 launch. That’s a pretty big number, considering the console hasn’t been around all that long.

What do you think of these UK sales numbers? Are you surprised by them at all?

That is a good number, The UK Market is huge and it is vital. I see why Microsoft wants to try and keep it.

Very good tracking VGChartz!

Well it is the second biggest in consoles just behind the US.

We wouldn't know, we don't speak Japanese.

*Bah-dum-tish*

Pretty sure it's about consoles like X1,PS4, WiiU and not handhelds or smartphones.

Yeah but I was mostly relating to Microsoft/Xbox since we know it is only extremely niche in Japan.

True, almost 540k next gen consoles were sold in japan for this year. I think japan is going to surpass the UK again this gen.

Well Uk sales most come from the last two months of the year.
