PS4 outselling Xbox One 1.5:1 in UK

3.9
Sony claims that its PlayStation 4 is outselling Microsoft’s Xbox One by a ratio of 1.5:1 in the UK indicating that for every 2 Xbox One units, Sony is selling 3 PlayStation 4 units in the UK.

Speaking at an event in the UK PlayStation UK boss Fergal Gara further added that PlayStation 3 sales figures are exactly the opposite. Xbox 360 was outselling the PlayStation 3 by 1.51:1 according to latest sales figures.

The latest PS4 to Xbox One sales ratio of 1.5:1 is impressive as Xbox 360 has a greater fan following in the UK as compared to Europe where PlayStation consoles fare better.

According to analysis reports and inventory data, Xbox Ones are easier to get in the UK as compared to PlayStation 4 and that probably explains the stats revealed by Gara.

As of December 2013, Sony managed to sell 4.2 million units of PlayStation 4, while Microsoft sold 3 million Xbox One with 3.9 million ‘shipped’. This puts the sales ratio of PS4 to Xbox One at 2:1.5.

-CP The cheaper item typically outsells the more expensive one, so this comes as no surprise at all.


If the more expensive item was worth it, then your logic is false.
Not necessarily, if you only can afford the $400 console then you simply don't get the $500 console...


If you like the xbox one, and want it, but can't afford it and get the ps4 anyways, what does that say about that xbox one? It's not worth saving up for a week or two and getting it?

The fact of the matter is the better deal sells. While it being cheaper plays a part, its not the full story. The ps3 is still more expensive than the xbox 360 and it has sold more lifetime.
Cheaper =/= sales


No, cheaper does equal sales... There's about $10-20 difference between the Xbox 360 and the PS3. And the better deal? There's absolutely no way to tell what console is superior... There's too many different things about them. Its like trying to say that the Galaxy S4 is better than IPhone....

No that can't be. Xbox made a lot more money than the ps3.

Strobe I have an Xbox One, and the PS4 does seem slightly better now, but I think on the late half of these consoles life span Xbox One will be slightly better. These numbers don't surprise, as the PS4 is better now. However, I think the Cloud will allow devs to load more objects/memory on a game at a larger rate than whatever Sony uses. This will allow games like Fallout to be larger, more detailed, interactive, etc.

You do realize the cloud has been proven to be a marketing scam? With current technology (and the near future) cloud computing can only be used for small things like lighting, which will make a minuscule difference.


How is it a scam? It's already being used right now and on future games. Technology only gets better, everyone knows that.

Retire good for Sony, I don't care who has sold more i have both consoles and they are both great.
Yes. Microsoft has to start lowering their price if they want the console to sell. Nobody want kinect.


yes i agree with i didn't want the kinect.


I have to agree with you guys, I don't want the Kinect, and I don't know anyone who actually does.
