According to the report of Cinema Blend, there's data showing that the PS4 was outselling the Xbox One greatly in the UK and that retailers and e-tailers were having a hard time keeping the PS4 in stock.
Rumors were originally swirling that Sony wasn't producing enough units to give the media impression that the PlayStation 4 was selling more than it really was. However, it wasn't supply fixing by Sony, it was high demand from gamers.
What's more surprising is that Wii-U is beating the Xbox One in Global Sales according to website VGChartz. With Steam Machines also entering into the fray, it's going to be an exciting year for gaming.
