[Hanmik]

So Xbox One sells more in a month in the UK, than lifetime in Japan..?

 

[AnthonypUK]

No PSVR Numbers?

 

[Jibbed]

Battlefield 1 doing some work.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

They need to just forget Japan and put the time, effort and budget they spend there to better use in mainland Europe.

I'd love an Xbox Fan Fest in Scotland

 

[kromeo]

Can't remember the last time I even heard someone in the UK mention WWE, surprised those games still sell decent numbers..

 

[Bitch Pudding]

XBOX One is the best selling console in UK.

 

[pswii60]

Impressive turnaround for XBO. PS4 Slim doesn't seem to have had any impact - will be interesting to see if Pro does.

 

[Lucifon]

Mafia 3 seems to keep on ticking over for 2k. The regular marketing is definitely working for them.

 

[Azzawon]

Gears 4 selling <122,000 seems really low to me.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

XBOX One is the best selling console in UK.

 

[Kresnik258]

Do you have a database or link to all the past versions of these that have released, Bruno? I remember you doing a number of the platform revenue/unit breakdowns throughout the year.

 

[Sjefen]

Everyone waiting for Pro

 

[Hesemonni]

No PSVR musings?

 

[Hasney]

Depends where you are. London, Manchester and Leeds seem to have decent scenes both for WWE and local wrestling. Large parts of Scotland too.

Gears 4 selling <122,000 seems really low to me.

I said it when Halo 5 came out, but 150k is going to be this high point of XB1 exclusives. Nothing does better than Halo and consoles would be needing to sell faster to make up for it.

 

[Bruno MB]

Gears 4 selling <122,000 seems really low to me.

It is performing below Gears of War: Judgment which sold around 130,000 units during the same time-frame. It is fair to say though that Gears of War 4 will have better legs and will catch Gears of War: Judgment soon.

Holy shit, XBox is leading sales in the UK. Last time I heard Sony was ahead a lot. Great turnaround by MS. They were the best selling last gen so there was precedent but we all saw the XB1 launch.

 

[Jumeira]

Xbox S is doing much better than I thought it would, now thats how you do a revision.

 

[31GhostsIV]

Titanfall selling only 30-odd thousand, and less than this year's latest shit-tier WWE game is really disappointing. It deserves so much better.

For this month, and the last couple.

its not leading overall.

this month or lifetime?

 

[Chris1]

To be fair WWE came out in the start of the month, Titanfall came out at the end. But I'm not sure if that would change much anyways.

 

[ps3ud0]

Did they not release July-Sept? Swear last time I saw UK monthly data it was 1H 2016

ps3ud0 8)

 

[dead monkey uk]

this month or lifetime?

This month, PS4 still holds a large lead in console sales in the UK

I don't have a database to share, you will have to check my thread history and not all monthly charts are there because most of them are in the weekly Pal Charts Threads.

I have search for you all monthly 2016 charts:

UK Monthly Charts - January 2016
UK Monthly Charts - February 2016
UK Monthly Charts - March 2016
UK Monthly Charts - April 2016
UK Monthly Charts - May 2016

As with recent sales of old model ps4s, it's not just the new shiny units that are doing this work on their own - deep discounts on original models is surely driving a good number of sales (and could well be for myself given the prices at microsoft store).

Thank you so much, that's a big help! Do you remember when you first started getting this data so I can search out the rest of it? (Although most of it can be calculated from the percentage drops)

September (by 1,500) and this month. PS4 still leads LTD.
