UK Xbox One sales just shy of Wii U's lifetime total, report claims

4.6
Xbox One sales were fast approaching Wii U's lifetime total after just two days of availability in the UK, a new report claims.

Retail monitor Chart-Track said on Monday morning that Xbox One sales were twice as big as those recorded for Xbox 360's launch week.

And an unnamed source has now told trade publication MCV that 150,000 Xbox One units were sold in the UK in the console's first 48 hours of availability, which is "just a few thousand units short of beating the Wii U's total UK sales accrued since its release a year ago this week"

Wii U sales totalled about 40,000 units during the system's first 48 hours of availability in UK.

At the end of Nintendo's second fiscal quarter ended September 30, global Wii U hardware sales stood at 3.91 million units.

Worldwide Xbox One sales topped one million units in less than 24 hours, Microsoft claimed on Saturday.

PS4 launched in North America on November 15 ahead of the European and Latin American PS4 release date of November 29. PS4 sales hit one million units in the console's first 24 hours of availability, according to Sony.

Not a surprise at all. Wii is just a no.

Well the WII U was a flop but microsoft had more hype put into the xbox one. The new nintendo consoles just pop out of no where kind of like a McDonalds.

Cause Wii approaches a younger audience. With mario and what not, those games are still awesome, but with Kinect, and the Ps3 move thing, they are all the same. Except xbox and sony kinda go towards an older audience. Maybe in Christmas Wii's get sold, cause kids ask for them

Konviicted Not surprising but insane. And for all the PS4 fans saying the PS4 got 1 million sales in 24 hours and only released in North America, while the One released worldwide, look at UKs share. Only 150k in 48 hours. So I am going to say/assume that most of the One's sales came from North America.


ehhh. it should be more. those brits love fifa. they got dat shit fo free
