Great accomplishment! Wonder how high they will be able to reach? Anyone know what PS2 sold in the UK?

Looking at what VGC has 9M 360's, 8.6M Wii's, and 6M PS3's. I think 15M lifetime for PS4 in the UK is very possible.

15mil! Lmao.

Ps2 sold a bit over 10mil, no way PS4 will outsell it by 50% in the UK.

 

Yeah 15 mil is a lot but PS4 managed to break 2 million faster than PS2 though....So who knows where it will end...

Congrats, well deserved. The only EU country where there is at least a bit of competition. Wonder how Xbone sales are.


500k behind would be my guess.

If Bananaking's edited post is correct and PS4 is ~100K over and Xb one ~100K under on VGC that actually suggests Xb one is <300K behind, possibly as little as 200K behind. Pretty tight competition. Several good weeks for Xb one and that difference could be gone.

Also, not too shabby tracking by VGC, it's only ~5% out on the LTD. But because the global LTD is close to be right, and it seems like Germany AND the UK are overtracked in order for VGC to correct those countries it needs to find somewhere else to put them to ensure the LTD remains as it is. At least VGC knows where to benchmark the number it needs to arrive at when it finally gets around to posting the UK numbers for W/E 3 May, which should be some time in July or August the way things are remaining at close to a standstill.

Oh ther is competition in the rest of Europe as well. It's just that one console is competing against itself while the PS4 is selling consoles.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

PS4 deserves it, congratulation!!!




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
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)

It'll be over 3M by the end of the year, that'd be already half of the PS3 install base in the UK in just ~2 years. woOoWowOoW o.O

Congrats PS4.

Yeap... PS4 over in UK about 80-100k.

Xbone didn't reached 1.5m yet like I posted in a old thread... using VGC dates... it could be reached or be close to 1.5m in this week for example.
