Nah it was like 115kThat's my take too.
Allegedly XB1 sold less than 100K in US this July which is quite low for what is their main market.
Microsoft is probably hoping Xbox One X will boost sales permanently.

Its consistently Nintendo weakest marker, though.
I think it's time for Nintendo to try to cater British gamers. The mainstream British gamers are into serious and mature games, colorful and cheerful nature of Nintendo games are not exactly their thing. Maybe Nintendo should create their own sports line? They have the support of a very talented sports game dev, Next Level Games, and a great racing game dev, Monster. They should make use of their talents but they need to do that without being a direct competitor of EA. People would ignore a third yearly soccer game and a NFS wannabe. Their offerings must be different but yet attractive to English fans.
If I were them, I'd make a licensed Fifa Soccer style extreme soccer game and a licensed Burnout/Flatout style racing game. Realistic games but still have a touch of Nintendo magic.
Xbox one x was announced over a year ago, not surprised at the slow down amongst gaming fwns. Switch is a new console that had a console launch this year. should be beating the ps4 at this point

Xbox might be 3rd in every territory.
Not really. The UK is probably the most flexible of all the markets, it's very fluid. If Nintendo released the right console and got the right support it would be the best seller there.Its consistently Nintendo weakest marker, though.
I don't think any console's best year has ever been it's first one. Launch year isn't an advantage here.Xbox one x was announced over a year ago, not surprised at the slow down amongst gaming fwns. Switch is a new console that had a console launch this year. should be beating the ps4 at this point
For main consoles anyway - we're a sucker for handhelds though, which may be working in Switch's favour.
It's usually out of stock when I've looked in certain retailers.
It's not.
UK is (normally) MS' 2nd best territory afaik, and is generally just a very price sensitive / FIFA sensitive territory.
In the 360 days UK was massive for MS I believe.
Wii amd ds both did wonderful in the uk. That is not trueNo.
UK is Nintendo's most difficult market.
The PS4 had some of the most successful video games of this year so far. Both Horizon and Crash are PS4 exclusives and Ghost Recon Wildlands is on PS4 too.
Not at all. DS and Wii both sold insanely well over here. I think the DS even holds the weekly sales record or something.
The Uk is a very flexible market - one generation it might be Nintendo, then ms, then Sony. Price factors a lot into decision making more than brand loyalty I'd say.
Doesn't look like switch is going to have an impact on PS4 sales. They're very different in terms of software so it shouldn't be a surprise.
No stock issues?PS4 did have a two month head start, and no stock issues.
That said, Switch is fully in stock now in the UK - even discounted today. So the week-to-week sales numbers will be more interesting at this point. Not that we get any.
The biggest issue Switch faces in the UK is the lack of retail exposure. After Wii U completely bombed to Atari Lynx levels in the UK, the Nintendo shelf space in supermarkets and other retail stores dramatically reduced, almost becoming on-existent in many stores. And Switch hasn't changed that much.
Eh? Except the entirety of last gen when Sony was behind both Nintendo and Microsoft.
Which would be well deserved considering their performance.Xbox might be 3rd in every territory.
People always seem to forget those for some reason.Not at all. DS and Wii both sold insanely well over here. I think the DS even holds the weekly sales record or something.

Nintendo has never been big in the U.K.
Not true.Nintendo has never been big in the U.K.
Yeah, as long as third parties don't come to Switch PS4 will continue to sell like it does.

lol you do realize XB1 is the worst selling console in two decades and struggling to hit a LTD of 100K in Japan.I guess XB1 isn't much more successful in the UK than in Japan, so this statement doesn't really tell us anything.
I don't understand this post.

That's literally just one gen. Even back in the snes days Nintendo wasn't that hotWii amd ds both did wonderful in the uk. That is not true

Hasn't been months looking on Amazon - have seen it consistently sold out with delivery dates later into the month.It's on the shelves at most stores I have visited. It's even in stock at Amazon and has been for some months now. They even had a price slash on it recently, hardly an indicator of bumper sales.
I'd disagree with that. UKers tend to go with the value option.
PS2 was clearly the console of choice - then the 360 came around, was seen as a better value console vs the £425 PS3 - and now PS4 has retaken the "crown".
It seems this country looks at value and what other gamers friends gravitate to - between console generations it really is a toss up here.
Wii and DS both did wonderfully ABSOLUETELY EVERYWHERE.
Besides, what is your point anyway? It's the year 2017, not 2007.
Same can literally be said for xbox not sure with either of your points isThat's literally just one gen. Even back in the snes days Nintendo wasn't that hot
Switch won't be a replacement for PS4 in anyone's mind as long as the third party offerings are not available on it. Only once that starts to happen can we start to think about the Switch impacting PS4 sales imo.

It's still the second strongest market this gen. I don't think that's ever been true for Nintendo.Xbox has has one dominant gen in the UK. That's the 360 generation
