UK sales of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were almost neck-and-neck over Black Friday week, retailers report.
139k PS4 consoles were sold in the UK between 22nd and 28th November, UK shops told MCV.
134k Xbox Ones were sold over the same timeframe - a narrow loss for Microsoft's machine.
Altogether, 300k consoles were shifted in total - a figure which leaves around 42k spare for Wii U, handhelds and older consoles.
Black Friday shows no signs of going anywhere - news which may or may not fill you with happiness, depending on how much the whole thing appeals.
More consoles were sold over the Black Friday weekend this year than over the same seven days in 2014.
Game sales soared by 60 per cent week on week, while retailers raked in 32 per cent more money.
Buy PlayStation 4 from Amazon
The PlayStation 4 is "THE" console to get behind, just as the PS3 was during the X-Box360/PS3 console war. I have yet to purchase a PS4, as I'm waiting for one game in particular that won't see light of day until at least December 2017.
Amazon are actually selling refurbished PS4 units directly from SONY themselves, at a mere £199.99 which comes with the same warranty as a new one and is technically steal... Well until December 7th anyway.
