UK PS4 sales narrowly beat Xbox 360 in 2013

4.6
While 3DS was the best-selling game system of the year

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.

Sexxi Xbox one rules over but Ps4 just has those sales!


I agree. I think Xbox is better. But they are both okay consoles :)


IMO xbox will always be better. They just need to step up there game right now


I'm not sure, they both have plus and minuses, but Xbox is where I've always been.


Yet I'm still stuck on which one to get.

Dong I think that Xbox will pull through and drag more sales in just like they always do.


In time perhaps, but that wont be for a while, the price has really put a beating in Microsoft.


Not only that but I find the PS4 offers a lot more.


Definitely in the games department if you ask me (while not launch games it has some great titles available in the long run). That's just my opinion though
