PlayStation 4 was the UK’s Best Selling Home Console

Sony’s PlayStation 4 has narrowly outsold the Xbox One to become the UK’s biggest home games console of 2013.

Over 530,000 units were sold over five weeks and generated £181.4 million becoming the fastest selling machine in UK history, as reported by MCV.

“We are delighted with the very strong sales of PS4 to date,” PlayStations UK Managing Director Fergal Gara said.

“Since we unveiled the console, gamers have shown huge interest in the PS4. Our focus now is rebuilding stock levels so those have not been able to get a PS4 can finally experience the next-gen. I’d like to thank the gamers, our retail and publishing partners who played a big part in making this success possible.”

Although the PS4 sold best in the UK, it wasn’t the biggest selling game device of 2013 with that title taken by the Nintendo 3DS.
