Think I read the XB1 was 160£, and the PS4 was 230£ (its like a 199$ XB1 vs a 300$ PS4, in USD).
Thats a pretty big price differnce, and the UK is one of the markets where the xbox does well.

PS4 still won.

It's actually a pretty significant win for the Playstation brand over xbox in its second strongest market. Sony have really just proved that even at a much lower price xbox has less value to the average consumer. 

The PS4 has been outselling the X1 almost 2 to 1 every single week, the whole year (and almost always at a cheaper price). So if that ratio didn't translate into this week then I would say that is a win for MS.

There were gas attacks on mothers and children. That's GAS attacks. Not GAAS like Halo Infinite is going to be. Just to be clear.

Well damn!

Microsoft could do so much better simply by working on its image in Europe.  They should not be losing so bad with prices so low.

Cheapest I can find atm is 166,- Euros (includes tax) for a 1TB X1S with Forza Horizon 4. At Saturn Germany, if someone is interested.

Or X1X 1TB with Fallout 76 for 374,-

 

Sale numbers are 4:1 in favour of PS4 over here, last I looked.

Gee zus christ. 166 euro with Forza. That's insanity. And ps4 still wins esey. Next gen the gap I think will be even wider in Germany. Its a playstation stronghold.

How can a hot product with a recently released Pokémon game, come after XB1?
I'm not even gonna question PS4's lead, but i find it not so good news, when, in this context, Switch can't even beat XB1.

Maybe because Xbox is a bigger brand in the UK? :P With tons of deals as well.. that's the context you seem to ignore though.

I went back as far as September the 15th, and XB1 outsold NS for 1-2 weeks.

Again, Switch had Pokémon. XB1, didn't have anything special or at all.

Yeah that's not really what the weekly reports from gamesindustry tells us but if you wanna go with the guesstimates by vgchartz where the two were basically interchangeable for all those weeks, and if you think a 170£ Forzabundle is nothing special, then we're done here.
