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.

Metered It's a shame the Wii U doesn't sell more, it's actually quite fun.
My Wii that I had broke within the first month so ever since then I've stayed away from Nintendo products.

Caszech Not really surprising, but a bit of a shame for the Wii U.
Definitely not a surprise that the PS4 would surpass the Wii U.
