UK PS4 sales surpass Wii U's lifetime total
Retail monitor Chart Track said on Monday morning that PS4 has become the fastest selling console in UK history.
While specific sales figures weren't revealed, retail sources have since claimed Sony moved over 250,000 consoles within 48 hours.
Despite launching one year prior to Xbox One and PS4, Wii U may now been relegated to third place in terms of next-gen UK hardware sales.
In late November, UK Xbox One sales hit 150,000 units in the console's first 48 hours of availability, just a few thousand units short of Wii U's total UK sales since release.
At the end of Nintendo's second fiscal quarter ended September 30, global Wii U hardware sales stood at 3.91 million units.
Sony said PS4 sales hit one million units in the console's first 24 hours of availability following its North American release on November 15.
And worldwide Xbox One sales topped one million units in the 24 hours following its November 22 launch, according to Microsoft.

Woof The Wii was so rampant just a few years ago - Nintendo need a new gameplan, and quickly too.
Nintendo did some pretty weak marketing with the Wii U. Some better marketing may have helped the console a fair bit on launch

Chicago_Blackhawks Not surprised since Xbox One and PS4 were like "THE must-get next gen consoles" but it is kind of surprising that it happened so fast. a lot of people underestimate the Wii-U. It has some good games like Zombie-U and Mario games
Nintendo thought the casual Wii audience will buy the Wii U but they have moved on to phones and tablets and the mass market gamers are on PS or Xbox! Very bad marketing by Nintendo!
