Xbox Series X|S was the best selling console in United Kingdom, in january


Really? It is really easy to check if what I said was wrong or not... you can buy right now Switch on eBay or Amazon Marketplace in UK.

Ended I'm right like usual.
Right now at this very moment you can't buy a Series S or X anywhere in the UK apart from eBay.


I'm in the UK and frequent hotukdeals. The Switch is supply constrained, but no where near the extent of any of the next gen consoles.

There's been plenty of the new Mario edition stock over the past week or so, the new Monster Hunter units are still available to pre-order everywhere, the regular consoles come in and out of stock every couple of days and the lite is available everywhere.

The demand for the new Xbox's and PS5 is extremely high. Stock comes and is sold out practically immediately.

So while you might be right to say the Switch is supply constrained, if you're implying that's the only reason Xbox has come out on top you are talking pure cat aids.

Oh so now exclusives matter?

At this stage of the generation the games are mostly the same. If you want a new console to play COD/FIFA (2 best sellers in the UK) and there's only one choice available then you'll get that.

Your analogy was pants.
Bro the last thing you can call me is a PlayStation fanboy.
All I'm saying is if you want to play the last of us 2 and all the other ps4 or ps5 games then you cant on a xbox.

The Switch supply issues is a know thing since last year... not just in UK (Japan and US too).
Right now there is supply issues in UK... so what make people things supply was not a issue in the last week?
PS5 and Series X the same.

Seems like Series S is the most available of the 4 systems... Switch Lite seems to be ok too but nobody wants to buy it.

So what is happening in UK? The console that shipped more will have more sales... that is simple.

Oh, I actual agree with you then.

This doesn't say anything about popularity, simply a matter of supply.

Interesting re: the Series S, stock informer shows how quickly even that comes and goes (AO with a £20 mark up, cheeky bastards);

People just like to hate on xbox for no reason.
What's crazy is this is just the beginning. Some have convinced themselves that battle lines are which port of Control is better and Kracken/noodles.

Wait until these MS devs start busting out exclusives and change the conversation. It's gonna be some rough waters ahead for fanboys.

That is nice... I did not know you have more data if you create an account.

You don't think everyone will be out voting and focused on the next presidential election at that time?

Gonna be something special when Starfield is announced as an exclusive.
 
But X|S is two consoles 🤔

Does anybody else remember when Sony reported "Playstation family" sales instead of PS3 sales and got absolutely pilloried for it?
yeah completely different than including multiple generations. it's no different than Sony combining PS4 and PS4 pro sales together or xbox one s and xbox one x
 
Until either one actually has a single console that sits unsold on a store shelf for more than 5 minutes, it's pointless to say one "outsold" the other.
 
Bought my second xbox series today (series s for the bedroom).....

Xbox consoles arnt as readily available in the UK as people might think. I've been looking for a series s since new year and the X is even more rare. Granted PS5 stock is probably worse

Why not? I am, and I did.

if I could buy just one of them, why would I leave behind my PS+ collection and all the digital games + DLC that I bought, I'd just wait.

People buying this are the average joes wanting a taste of next gen, they don't care which machine.

If you could buy just one, you should obviously buy a PS5. But, there's no rule saying you can only buy one.
 
What a tough day for Sony fans. Control ray Tracing comparison where they lost brutally and then this news. 😏
wasn't like a 15% difference or something,
though the file size thread was the opposite
neither seemed earth-shattering to me, but as I predicted the partisan sides would each claim their victory as crushing the other... not that such a prediction was terribly difficult to make or required particularly strong intuition

So let me get this straight.

Everyone in the UK is waiting to buy a PS5. The only people buying the XBX/S are "average joes" simply wanting "a taste" of next gen, they don't care which machine.

Arrogant Sony fanboys are back I see.

Arrogant Sony fanboys never left, they dominate the board!

I'm not one of them though.
 
Apparently mail in voting is a thing now, so probably not.

Imagine being so salty, that the best you could muster is low level trolling in a MS thread. What a pity.
THIS is a Microsoft thread?! Hahahaha ok
If I was gonna troll I'd ask what the attach rate of their exclusives are. Ho!
 
Microsoft: *had more Xboxes available than the competition and landed an easy win*
NeoGAF: That doesn't count - because supply constraints! $1 trials! Blast processing! UK has always been strong for Xbox! Moon landings are fake! Sony sold more in [random country]!
