PlayStation 4 surpasses 1 million sales in the UK

4.4
The PlayStation 4 is the first current-gen console to hit one million sales in the UK, making it the second-fastest of all to reach seven figures in the country's history. The Sony system took 42 weeks to pass the million barrier, four weeks less than the PS3 and eight less than the PS2. However, the crown for fastest seller remains atop the Nintendo Wii, which shifted a million to UK customers in just 38 weeks.

Sony Europe's Chris Owen confirmed the figure as "sell-through," meaning it represents sales to customers rather than retailers. Sony UK boss Fergal Gera explained to Eurogamer the figures come from data compiler Chart Track.

There are 500+ million americans in the US, no way is only .02% of the population owning a PS4. It's the prices.

1 mil is a good bit, but I imagined they would be past that.

What is Xbox One at?

Kinda seems low when compared to the total sales figures, but when you think about it that's 1 PS4 per 63 people in the country, and a lot of those people will non gamers or people who are to young or too old to game!

Miss Only a mil? I honestly thought it would have sold a lot more, guess I was wrong.


So would I have. There are a lot of gamers that play so I'm surprised there isn't more.

Maybe after they lower prices people will actually buy them.
