Over a Million PS4s Sold in the UK
Sony has announced that over a million PlayStation 4s have been sold in the UK in the nine months since launch, making it the second fastest console to reach that milestone after the original Wii.
The figures, which come from Chart Track, show that the millionth console was sold alongside Destiny.
For comparison, the PS3 took 46 weeks to reach this point, the PS2 50 weeks and the Xbox 360 took 60.
Sony also released some extra stats to go along with the announcement, with UK gamers racking up over 12 million videos of PS4 gameplay, over 21 million images of PS4 gameplay, have completed over 1.2 million broadcast sessions and have shared over 500,000 gameplay images on Facebook and Twitter. It’s a good thing they put that Share button there really isn’t it?
This also follows the recent announcement that over 10 million PS4s have been sold worldwide.

Hi all, I'm Dan 'Nailz' Naylor, News Editor for the site (and I've just realised there's a pleasing alliteration to that). Almost all the news posts you see on the site are either by me or written because I say so, and we try to make them a little more interesting than a regurgitated press release so I hope you think we're succeeding.
Normally I'll be sinking my time into the latest RPG, but I'll play almost anything, with racing games a particular favourite. Owner of a Wii U, I have no regrets purchasing the console, though Smash Bros. hasn't left the disc tray since Christmas.
You can find me on Twitter and PSN as MacShanks, and feel free to hit me up if you have any questions, queries or feedback!
