IGN News - PS4 is the UK's Fastest-Selling Console Ever

PS4 gets off to a record-breaking start in the UK. Knack also beats Mario 3D World in the charts.

If you consider the UKs size compared to America, that's pretty impressive. Even Texas alone is nearly three times the size of the UK.

Nice to hear that Knack sold great.
That means that theres a big possibility we could get Knack 2. :)

Rob ended the console wars with that one

The skit in the beginning wasn't funny. PS4 sales are very impressive. They're killing it right now.

I'm buying my gaming console to play games.  My budget allows me to get one console.
I research and find out that the PS4 has better benchmark results for their games when compared to the competition.
I see that the PS4 console is cheaper, and so is the online subscription.
I see that the PS4 gives me a large category of free games with my subscription that grows every month.
I see that there's a lot of support for independent developers for the PS4.

And more importantly, I want to play with my friends.  Most of my friends acknowledged what I said above on their own, and are getting PS4s.  I only know two friends that are getting the Xbox One.

Therefore, to me, it's a no brainer if you're buying a console to simply play games.  I'm sure Xbox One has a lot of good games to play as well, but the PS4 is cheaper and promises me a lot of games with my subscription, so I'm getting the PS4.

I had an Xbox 360 before, because it was cheaper and most of my friends had one.  It isn't about favoring one company to me, it's about the games and the experience playing those games.  Being with your friends and having fun.  Having a lot of options of games to play.  That's what a gaming console is all about, and I feel that the PS4 gives me exactly that.

And in my opinion, this is the reason why PS4 internationally has higher sale numbers than the Xbox One.  Because most people buy their gaming consoles to have a great gaming experience, and the PS4 looks very promising for that.

PS4 for life bow down to the king mother fuckers I love my PS4 and Wii U. And will be getting XBOX ONE Christmas!

Haha! Anchorman 2! And i'm not surprised about the PS4's sales.

When will the xbox fans learn they can't beat the ps4?

[AmazingHaloForges]

Man, you know Xbox fanboys are watching this video too (myself included), yet the video only has 14 dislikes. Now imagine if this was about the Xbox One; at the very least a third of the likes would be dislikes, and we all know it. What does that say about PS4 fanboys?

Ron Burgundy just saved my life, i will never fight over women, ever again

1:23 Super Mario 3D World is not on the Wii it is on the Wii U. Come on man, you should know this. 

[srenuka]

Ps4 is amazing. I'm literally addicted to it killzone is fantastic

[TheDiguy]

PS4 for muthafucking WIN!! lol hater be hating on Knack while it's doing great. People need to try things themselves before judging a game from it's cover.

[rstelford]

What I've learned reading these comments...

'I am broke, only had enough money for one console and I'm so insecure I have to justify my purchase to any one who will listen to me'.

If your console of choice is so good then go fucking play it...

[MarbleThumbs]

I feel very strongly about bad audio synchronisation 

[doloams]

all game designers are saying that the PS4 is better for them to make games on.... so the better games in the future will likely be on the PS4

[InternetSenation]

lmao, I heard the PS4 sold more than Wii U's total sales in 2 days, that's fucking sad. 

[andye]

I'm a fanboy for liking a product that is better then the other? Why would I want a xbox? So I can get banned? Games? What games? Party Chat, so boosters have it easy..Titan Fall?  I'm playing that on PC. Cause it's all in one, where I can watch tv. I can do the same by simply turning off my console and watching tv, wow you saved me 10 seconds xbox. Are you that fucking lazy?

[brendandyson]

I don't understand why there is even a console war in the first place PS4 is obviously better
