Sony has duplicated their successful launch of the PS4 in North America by becoming the UK’s fastest ever selling console.
The user interface is a huge improvement over the 360, and Kinect now works well, but Microsoft's latest games console is playing catchup against Sony's PlayStation 4
The Xbox One will be out from 22nd November (though from the 15th for US customers) and the PS4 arrives a week later on the 29th. The PS4 costs £349 and the Xbox One will retail for £429, with both these packages including a single controller. However, the Xbox One’s basic price includes the cost of the Kinect 2.0 whilst the PS4 Eye does not come with the PS4.
This much is clear: they’re both black boxes. The PS4 is a bit slanty and the Xbox One looks a little like a videotape recorder, but they're both very much black boxes.
