UK PS4 sales surpass Wii U's lifetime total
Retail monitor Chart Track said on Monday morning that PS4 has become the fastest selling console in UK history.
While specific sales figures weren't revealed, retail sources have since claimed Sony moved over 250,000 consoles within 48 hours.
Despite launching one year prior to Xbox One and PS4, Wii U may now been relegated to third place in terms of next-gen UK hardware sales.
In late November, UK Xbox One sales hit 150,000 units in the console's first 48 hours of availability, just a few thousand units short of Wii U's total UK sales since release.
At the end of Nintendo's second fiscal quarter ended September 30, global Wii U hardware sales stood at 3.91 million units.
Sony said PS4 sales hit one million units in the console's first 24 hours of availability following its North American release on November 15.
And worldwide Xbox One sales topped one million units in the 24 hours following its November 22 launch, according to Microsoft.

Treyarchedx32Woof The Wii was so rampant just a few years ago - Nintendo need a new gameplan, and quickly too.
Exactly, They are pretty much just changing the design and not much else, the graphics are still terrible
Yeah well the graphics on the XBONE and PS4 are pretty terrible compared to the PC, tho I always thought it's gameplay that matters the most and not the graphics. Saying that tho COD has piss poor graphics and gameplay yet it's the best selling game... Gaming has gone massivly downhill.
Well yeah PC will always have better graphics but it isn't always about that, if it was, consoles would be out of business. Look at Nintendo, they didn't have good graphics but still made some great games that people can remember.

HOF Was that really that surprising to anyone?
Probably because of how fast they sold the PS4 consoles.
