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.

I really don't see how PS4 out sold the Xbox One, the only reason may be that it is cheaper.

Katsumi Well this is looking pretty good for Sony. I wasn't expecting them to be in the lead like this but it seems that they surpassed my expectations


It's due to the resolution problems of XBONE. 1080p is a must in this day and age.

It was cheaper and was released sooner, what did you expect?

I'm not surprised PS4 is out-selling Xbox One tbh, but it IS a cheaper console which is probably the reason.
