PlayStation 4 enjoys most successful launch week in UK history
British industry site MCV put the PS4's opening week sales at 250,000, according to its retail sources. MCV also pinned the Xbox One's UK numbers at 150,000, but again that figure is unconfirmed. In any case, the good news is both consoles are enjoying successful launches both in the UK and across the globe; Sony announced 1 million PS4 sales within 24 hours of the console's debut in North America, a figure Microsoft also hit when it launched the Xbox One across 13 markets worldwide.
As for this week's software charts, there's some predictable shuffling with the console launches. Call of Duty: Ghosts drifted back to the top, after FIFA 14 stole ahead last week with the Xbox One Day One bundles. The rest of the top ten is made up by games available across Xbox One and PS4, with the exception of Grand Theft Auto 5 in seventh, and Batman: Arkham Origins in tenth.
The charts don't read so well for the Wii U, though. The system's standout holiday game, Super Mario 3D World, debuted in 14th place, just behind PS4 launch game Knack in 13th.

In the UK it's game system vs game system, not game system vs entertainment solution. The Xbox One's oneguide doesn't work in the UK, and passing your cable box through the Xbox One makes the video look janky because a 50Hz signal is being displayed at 60Hz... Probably makes TV look worse than telecined video. The fact that the Xbox has video services paywalled probably makes the PS4 more attractive to the type of people who would have bought an Xbox if they were living in USA.
