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'm not surprised about this. I completely understand why the PS4 would be a better purchase over the Xbox One and especially people new to gaming.

They're both pretty much the same thing, the arguments always contradict the other.

Kex I don't really care about who's outselling who now, they're both good consoles anyway.

I agree. I think the whole Xbox vs PS arguments are stupid. Whatever you enjoy playing is best for you. Just because you like it, doesn't mean everyone else does. Its user preference.

Genetics misread the title, thought it said 5:1. Haven't played either, so I couldn't tell you.

Nobody asked you to tell us anything, this article is just based upon sales figures (facts).

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

Oasis The fact that Xbox reskinned the 360 before the One's laugh, proved to the community that Microsoft had the long game in mind. I think that's why some people have waited to upgrade because believe it or not but the 360 has a little bit of life left.

I still play my 360 a lot more than my Xbox One. I find the Xbox One's full potential will be in a few years.

I agree there but when the price goes down more people will get one
