Gamescom/TR announce causing a buying frenzy for XBone last week.
where?
Did we stop getting UK splits or people simply stopped posting them in here?
(LTD PS4)/(LTD XBO) = 1.16, i.e. PS4 has a 16% lead in software units. Put another way, For every 6 units of software that the XBO sells, the PS4 sells 7 units. But, that's all retail, and we don't know what the digital marketplace looks like.
LTD XBO: 2.73 million units
LTD PS4: 3.17 million units

The inverse of the US Tie Ratio;
PS4: 2.7
XB1: 3.2
Which if similar in the UK would result in 850k XB1 and 1.17m PS4.
About PS4 hardware LTD...no update so far about it reaching a million, so, unless anything changes in the next hours, it'd be 38 weeks before hitting a million. Crossing streams with Wii possibly happening.
In the case
PS4 first 5 weeks (2013) - 530,000
PS4 subsequent 33 weeks (2014) - 470,000 / < 470,000 ---> 14,242 / < 14,242 per week (average)
I think the tie ratio will be higher here for both because of bundled games - FIFA, Forza and Titanfall on XB1; Knack, Killzone, Infamous and Watchdogs on PS4.

Edit: Found an error in the graphs, hopefully now fixed.
Because someone always asks, these are estimated because the original data from which it is computed is imprecise. That said, I'm willing to bet this is still pretty damn good.
Quick facts:
YTD XBO 2013: 1.16 million units
YTD PS4 2013: 1.33 million units
YTD XBO 2014: 1.57 million units
YTD PS4 2014: 1.84 million units
LTD XBO: 2.73 million units
LTD PS4: 3.17 million units

I liked Risen but all the bad press Risen 2 got made me skip that one. Really tempted to pick up Risen 3 now to bathe in Piranha Byte nostalgia.Don't get me wrong -> I really really like Piranha Bytes. But the last two games..... -_-
I never expected Tomodachi to have such legs.

Or it's happened and in the new era of restricted data no one released the information...

You know if it actually happened? But why starting closing acces to basic datas like this? It has never been that in the last gens. Heck, last Holiday we got an update about 3DS reaching 2 millions...mere months ago. It's a good thing to share, especially if PS4 did that faster than Wii: it'd be the fastest home console to do that. Why.
Yes. Look at the data for YTD 2014 and YTD 2013 and the same ratio, roughly, exists.Cheers. Is this fairly stable over time?

When was the last time MCV posted figures that they obtained directly from Chart-Track? It seems to me that ended long ago, and MCV now has to rely on "retail sources" (ie retailers leaking Chart-Track data which they get in return for supplying Chart-Track with their data).
It's the evolution of Chart-Track, with numbers becoming more and more secretive over time.
A short timeline;
1984: Argus Specialist Publications contract Gallup (who at the time compiled the official UK music charts) to compile national software charts for their trade magazine "Computer & Software Retailing", these were also published in their consumer magazine "Home Computing Weekly" (see here for the first chart published there). After "Computer & Software Retailing" closes down in 1985 fellow trade magazine "Microscope" takes over publishing the charts. They later switch to "Computer Trade Weekly" (CTW) the long running trade magazine who continued to publish the charts until their demise in 2002.
1989: ELSPA formed, not long after they contract Gallup to compile the charts for them, ELSPA now own the copyright of the data (as opposed to the various magazines who previously owned it).
1996: Gallup decide that video & computer game sales tracking is not a core business (they lost the official UK music charts several years earlier), faced with the possibility of redundancy (Gallup's UK staff), and no charts (ELSPA), ELSPA helps to fund a management buyout of Gallups' video game tracking service. ELSPA now own shares in the new company "Chart-Track", as do the former Gallup management. For the next decade Chart-Track/ELSPA numbers are regularly published in the specialist press (see this example from CTW).
1998: MCV debuts
2002: RIP CTW, the market isn't big enough for two trade magazines, but CTW is incorporated into MCV (which was created by former CTW staff). No biggie, still getting plenty of numbers.
2008: GfK aquires a 55% controlling stake in Chart-Track, ELSPA still own 45%. Hmm... management no longer own any of the business, and we're really not getting so many numbers now, but still records and milestones at least.
2010: ELSPA becomes UKIE
2012: UKIE sells all of it's remaining shares to GfK ... Uuugh ... what numbers have we (or MCV) had directly from Chart-Track since?
So yeah, unless the manufacturer announces themselves (note, head of Sony Poland recently said they don't give out regional numbers ... have Sony announced any PS4 numbers for any specific country yet?), or MCV get a leak off of a retailer then I don't think that we can any longer rely on milestones being announced.
When u see PSvita sales perform even worst that old classic DS, u know that thing is barely alive. T_T
man, 3DS software is sucking extra hard on the UK, even on a YoY basis

Its a holiday, so no.
I didn't know.. .thanks.
Seems like PS4 is sold out in Amazon UK.
Temporarily out of stock. Order now and we'll deliver when available. We'll e-mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information. Your credit card will not be charged until we ship the item.
Well Destiny SKU is not open for preorder anymore too...I wonder if that suggests anything. Perhaps Amazon UK didn't order more of the regular PS4 SKU because of the incoming Destiny SKU?
A friend opened a thread about the drop 3 days ago in a forum I'm member (http://vizioneck.com/forum/index.php?topic=692)... so at least from Friday it is the new price.Wait Amazon had the PS4 up for 329 GBP? So 20 GBP under MSRP for UK?
