PS4 outselling Xbox One in UK

by Richard Vincenti JrLeave a Comment

In what has been a true battle of the “next-gen” consoles, Playstation 4 appears to be currently winning the race, at least in the UK according to VG247.

The source MCV, states that the PS4 has sold about 250,000 units and has tallied up £87 million in just 48 hours, beating out the 150,000 units that the Xbox One has sold so far. It’s obviously still too early to tell who’s going to win, at least in terms of sales, but these early numbers do seem to give Sony a bit of an edge. How do you think things will shake out in the end? Will Xbox catch up?

Xbox One Suffers Disc Drive Issues, May Get Free Game

by Richard Vincenti JrLeave a Comment

Unfortunately, it happens all too often, early adopters run out and grab the latest and greatest, whether it’s software or hardware, only to find that you’re likely to run into issues sooner or later. The Xbox One is no different as some users have been reporting disc drive failures that prevent any disc based game from playing. The defective units have been reported to make a nasty grinding noise when a disc is inserted into the system.

The feeling of disappointment and possibly rage can build up quick when this kind of stuff happens but there’s no need to freak out just yet as Microsoft has said that they will be offering Forza Motorsport 5, Ryse, Zoo Tycoon, or Dead Rising as a FREE digital download, but only to those users who are having problems specifically related to the disc drive failing. In addition to this, and most importantly, Microsoft is also working with these affected customers to ensure that they get new and fully functional consoles.

Microsoft isn’t the only one feeling hardware launch pain as Sony’s Playstation 4 has also suffered from some issues of it’s own including major slowdowns to it’s Playstation Network service and some consoles arriving completely dead out of the box. The hope is here that even though all of these aforementioned issues on both consoles are only causing a very small percentage of users to have headaches, that both Sony and Microsoft step-up and take care of the issues they are having as quickly as possible, and most importantly, take care of their customers by offering them good customer service for their hard earned money.
