UK Retailers: PS4 Will Edge Out Xbox One in 2015, Sales Will be Close - News

The PlayStation 4 took a lead over the Xbox One in the UK in 2014, but things are looking a lot closer heading into 2015. Retailers are expecting sales to be neck and neck in 2015, but the PlayStation 4 is expected to have a slight edge.

"It’s been all PlayStation for most of 2014," said one store manager. "But 2015 it will be neck-and-neck. It’s tough to call."

MCVUK surveyed retailers and 55 percent of respondents said the PlayStation 4 will end up on top, while 41 percent said the Xbox One will be on top. This is a huge difference from last year where 78 percent said the PlayStation 4 would win in 2014, while only 10 percent said the Xbox One would win.
