UK PS4 sales narrowly beat Xbox 360 in 2013
PS4 was the UK's top-selling home game console of 2013.
As previously revealed by retail monitor Chart-Track, UK PS4 sales surpassed 530,000 units in 30 days. In doing so, sales of Sony's new console topped annual Xbox 360 sales by just a couple of thousand units, MCV reports.
Boosted by a strong software release schedule, 3DS was the UK's best-selling game system of 2013, while Microsoft managed to shift 364,000 Xbox Ones in the UK during the console's first five weeks of availability.
PlayStation UK boss Fergal Gara said: "We are delighted with the very strong sales of PS4 to date. Since we unveiled the console, gamers have shown huge interest in the PS4. Our focus now is rebuilding stock levels so those have not been able to get a PS4 can finally experience the next-gen. I'd like to thank the gamers, our retail and publishing partners who played a big part in making this success possible."
Worldwide PS4 sales topped 4.2 million units as of December 28, Sony claimed on Tuesday.
Microsoft said on Monday that Xbox One sales hit three million globally by the end of 2013.

Gossip No surprise that next gen beats old gen.
Yeah, I don't really find this surprising seeming that demand for the current generation of consoles has been very high lately.
