Ps4 normally wins in console sales in the uk and everywhere around the world but some only makes a big deal about console sales when the ps4 doesnt win which isnt often.

uptownsoul2689d ago

Yeah, it looks like the PS4 will take November in most countries

Fatal-Aim2689d ago

The 50k is only for black Friday. This doesn't include the entire month of November in the UK where the PS4 outsold the Xbox One, and let's not even include how much it outsold the Xbox One globally in November. The XB1 is getting beaten to a pulp

darthv722689d ago

Both seemed to do really well this holiday. There will be lots of happy kids / adults this season.

bouzebbal2689d ago

That's a very safe claim.

Gazondaily2689d ago

Impressive. VR titles must have made a big chunk of that. Hope they sell a shed load. I want VR to succeed

Rofl. You do realize you are in an article about ps4 out selling xb1? What is the difference between this and xb1 out selling ps4 articles?
Good job sony... keep producing solid products for us gamers!

OB1Biker2689d ago (Edited 2689d ago )

I think he said 'makes a big deal'.
Difference is they won't make it as if its a big deal. Easy :)

And this is just in the U.K. That's a significant number for only a single country I wonder what was the gap worldwide.

S2Killinit2689d ago (Edited 2689d ago )

You don't think 50,000 units in a single week in a single country out of 196 countries in the world, is a significant number? Okay then.

chrisoadamson2689d ago

The UK is not a single country you hill Billy. It's England.. Scotland.. Wales ... Northern ireland .. just so you know . I assume your American !

stuna12689d ago (Edited 2689d ago )

When it comes to Unspoken some words are better left "Unspoken"!?

Of course 50,ooo consoles is a significant number! even in the USA.

S2Killinit2689d ago (Edited 2689d ago )

@chrisoadamson
Ok man calm down. I KNOW what the U.K. is. Let us know when the Irish get tired of you old chap.

MRMagoo1232689d ago

@chris

"I assume *you're* American" fixed it for you.

Angeljuice2689d ago

Latest weekly US sales were 62,000 PS4's vs 72,000 XBone's so a 50,000 gap in a single day in a much smaller territory is significant by any measure.

Incidently weekly sales in Japan are 31,000 vs 237.

The irony in this post calling Americans stupid HILL BILLY and then closing it out with ". I assume YOUR American" ROFL

Unspoken2689d ago

Single country, lol.

Anywho it's .01%. A drop in the bucket. Hasn't even caught up with PS3 sales, much less PS2 or Wii.

FlyingFoxy2689d ago

@chrisoadamson Uh, you do know that the UK is a country, and that Scotland, England and Wales are also countries right?.. So they are countries within a country, you need to learn about these things before going off on one like that.

UCForce2688d ago

@Unspoken Really ? Because PS4 outsell Xbox One again. That's how is it.

mark3214uk2688d ago (Edited 2688d ago )

10 ps4's sold per minute for black friday week ;) not bad at all

What does the sales look like on Microsoft vs Sony?

Kingthrash3602689d ago

What do you mean?
Do you mean who made more money overall as a company? MS did. But two things you need to realise bro slice....
1. The less the xbox sells the more likly MS will sell it or axe it and just make software. People try to say it's a good thing that xbox has no exclusives and is now a windows item bit all that shows is MS isn't making money on xbox.
2...that's entirely off topic...just like if I were to bring up worldwide sales on a npc article the past 4 months.

VoodooProject2689d ago

But bro slice, if Sony does poorly as a company they will just go bankrupt?

trooper_2689d ago

Yea, Sony's gonna go bankrupt. Not like they did restructuring or anything./s

Angeljuice2689d ago (Edited 2689d ago )

Profit wise Apple destroys them both combined, does that answer your strange question?

Apple are the world's most profitable company, Microsoft aren't even top 5 (I had to research the top 5 for a project last week). Maybe they're top 10 but I wasn't looking that far down the list.

DarXyde2689d ago (Edited 2688d ago )

I just adore people like you:

"But bro slice, if Sony does poorly as a company they will just go bankrupt?"

That is, to my knowledge, every single business on the face of the earth. Every. Single. One. What company does poorly AND avoids bankruptcy? To date, I believe only Apple, but that was only because Microsoft bailed them out.

In your infinite wisdom, I assume you meant if PlayStation does poorly, they'll go bankrupt. Sony pictures and Columbia (which is Sony) do pretty well, so there's that. You need not worry about PlayStation. Sony has been very proactive and successful with the brand, so your concerns are for naught (though I am well aware of your trolling). Microsoft can afford to have some success at Sony's expense. All it's doing is making Sony more aggressive with PlayStation. The games in the works look extremely promising and it's still selling very well. They've already got a great install base. They'll be fine and their efforts are a testament to that.

You're suggesting that Sony needs to constantly win by a large margin. They don't. For most of us, it's our go-to platform and our friends and family are on PlayStation too. That interconnectedness and investments across platforms pretty much secures them a market.

Markusb332688d ago

Sony has been outselling MS since launch to today that has never changed. Plus Sony just sold more in USA through November according to NPD

PS4 in one week in November wiped out and almost doubled the advantage where Xbone gain advantage over PS4 during September and October in UK :

September gap: Xbox One by 1,500

October gap: Xbox One by ~24k

UK October Hardware Sales
Xbox One - 99,496
PlayStation 4 - 74,500

DarkSniper2689d ago

This once again proves that PlayStation®4 is the premiere household device in living rooms across the UK and all over the world. What these numbers show is that Xbox One is getting the curbstomping it deserves for lying to their consumer base and not providing the titles that real gamers are asking for. Instead of #buildingthelist , they simply release shooter after shooter after shooter. Which is why it comes to no one's surprise that Xbox One is a dead machine.

Dark Sniper looks forward to seeing more Xbox One systems in pawn shops as gamers wake up and make the smart decision to upgrade to greatness. PlayStation®4.

$niper

meche3342689d ago (Edited 2688d ago )

or just have both because more of my friends have xbox
Edit: People think im letting my firends decide how I use my money. I primarily play ps4 but i play xbox one with my friends because i enjoy that and i play mostly MP games

yeahright22689d ago

So glad I'm a primarily single player gamer. I'll never have to factor in what other people have as part of my buying decision.

DarkHeroZX2688d ago

Lol i don't let my friends factor in my buying decisions. We are all grown, we all spend our money how we see fit.

rezzah2688d ago

It becomes a question of, "Do I want to play video games, or do I want to play with my friends?".

You will notice the majority who choose the latter tend to select xbox consoles.

Lennoxb632689d ago (Edited 2689d ago )

Lennoxb63 hopes that DarkSniper grows up.

Lennoxb63 hopes that @ShadowKnight does his homework before making comments. MS has been taking risks and making new IPs. Sunset Overdrive, Ryse, Ori, Quantum Break, Scalebound, Sea of Thieves, etc. Whether you like those games or not isn't really relevant. But those are new IP.

@ShadowKnight

Like I said before. Whether you liked those games or not isn't relevant. They are new IP. Forgot one, Recore.

ShadowKnight2689d ago (Edited 2689d ago )

Shadowknight hopes that Lennoxb63 will come to reality that Microsoft needs more first party studios and that they stop milking their exclusives every two years (Halo, Gears, Forza) and take some risk with new IPs instead of shooters and be more diverse. Microsoft don't even have a Baseball game or AAA RPG :/

ShadowKnight2689d ago (Edited 2689d ago )

Lennox is still in denial and need some help. Most of those games you mention sucked imo except for Sunset Overdrive which is from Insomniac Games and not from Microsoft first party studio and Ori which is not an Xbox exclusive got it on my PC.. Quantum Break was just awful. I can't speak on Scalebound yet. Now you know why Xbox one is struggling in sales.

DarXyde2688d ago

In what world is Xbox One a "dead machine"? In Japan, sure, but that's a country, not a world.

I wouldn't criticize shooters too much. There is clearly a sizable market for people interested in those games. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love PlayStation and its incredible variety, but Xbox does have what is arguably the best shooter library. And I do enjoy Forza more than Gran Turismo these days.

Where exactly did they lie? To be entirely fair, Killzone: Shadow Fall wasn't exactly as advertised.

Surprised this article was even written. Ps4 winning sales is just business as usual but xbox winning in certain regions is typically what people wanna make a fuss about.

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx1h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro9h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B7h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21837h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh6h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia6h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins6h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal6h ago

The first game was the best imo.
