During its launch in the UK, the PlayStation 4 sold almost 250,000 units in just over 48 hours. The Xbox One sold around 170,000 units in just over a week's time in the same region with 150,000 of those sales having come in the first 48 hours. The Wii U's lifetime sales figures in that region? Just 150,000 units in total.
