Some readers may note that the UK has always been a more challenging territory for Nintendo, even though it still enjoys plenty of success there.<\/p>\n<p>Sony, we suspect, won\u2019t be thinking too much about the competition and just focusing on bringing players into its ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Its console is now closing on the 100 million units milestone, and with a strong holiday there\u2019s a chance it may hit it before GTA 6 launches next year.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:pushsquare.com\/ssl\/ps5\/related-articles:193690,194475 @ 1764531241 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block

He said 12 months of sales data wasn&#8217;t comparable to 6 months of sales data. Then you said, &#8220;So what&#8217;s your excuse for the PS5 outselling it in October?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That doesn&#8217;t sound defensive to you? Like you&#8217;re trying to prove something about the PS5&#8217;s success relative to the Switch 2&#8217;s? Why even point out it&#8217;s &#8220;the last 2 months in a row&#8221;? Based on everything I&#8217;ve said, why would I care? If you&#8217;re not trying to say the PS5 is the bestest console ever and more successful than the Switch 2, why point this out?<\/p>\n<p>If I sound worked up, it&#8217;s because this is the most pointless debate I&#8217;ve seen in a while. I&#8217;m not even disagreeing with anything you&#8217;re saying. I&#8217;m just saying \u2014 over and over again \u2014 that what you&#8217;re saying isn&#8217;t relevant to what Member said.<\/p>\n<p>And your last paragraph is just completely misunderstanding me. I&#8217;d be more offended if I hadn&#8217;t already presumptuously assumed your motivations, as well. I can&#8217;t speak for Member, but I clicked on this article because I was curious what the sales numbers were. I didn&#8217;t expect this &#8220;edging&#8221; to hinge on incompatible sales data. I think it should be quite evident that the incompatibility is was bothers me. And I really only engaged in the comments because I thought your response to Member was, frankly, obnoxious.<\/p>\n<p>And no, I don&#8217;t agree that the PS5 selling more than the Switch 2 in a region that has historically preferred PlayStation to Nintendo is pretty interesting. I&#8217;d find it pretty interesting if the PS5 inexplicably outsold the Switch 2 in Japan. I&#8217;d find it interesting if the Switch 2 remained the highest selling console every month in every major region. This, though? This is normal. I&#8217;d be very surprised if the Switch 2 outsells the PS5 in the UK next year. Unless Sony drops the ball and Nintendo has a few Animal Crossing-level releases at the ready.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8926621\" data-author=\"users\/339784\" data-subject=\"comments\/8926621\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8926621\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/339784\/avatar.jpg?v=1711403794\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"darylb24\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2025\/11\/ps5-is-edging-out-the-switch-2-in-the-uk-so-far-this-year#comment8926621\">22<\/a><\/li>\n<li>darylb24<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-11-29T08:10:29+00:00\">Yesterday, 8:10am<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>I think if both consoles were available for the whole year then we all know who would be comfortably ahead.

all-time classics.<\/p>\n<p>As I&#8217;ve said many times, people need to consider the whole-life cost of owning a console which includes the money you get back at the end of it.<\/p>\n<p>I was shocked with how much people were willing to pay when I sold my old Switch OLED, so in total it cost me very little to own.<\/p>\n<p>With inflation being what it is, and given how I keep my stuff in

But since the release of the Switch, they have been very successful in the UK, with the Switch outselling Xbox One in the region and their games frequently being in the charts. PlayStation has the bigger brand recognition here and the games that appeal to the UK market more, but that won&#8217;t stop Switch 2 from being successful here. I definitely do feel Nintendo will continue to do their best to get more push in the UK market. I&#8217;ve seen a ton of different deals for Black Friday with Switch 2 from the standard console, to the MK bundle to even MK and Donkey Kong Bananza together for a cheaper price. Not insane deals like the PS5 ones but still decent offerings for a system that has only been out half a year. I own both systems and enjoy them, but right now the Switch 2 has been taking up my time. The Pro Controller 2 is my new favourite controller and there are tons of first and third party games to play on it. As someone who felt like the only person to be interested in Nintendo during the 3DS and Wii U days, it&#8217;s nice to see them doing well here.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8927150\" data-author=\"users\/26414\" data-subject=\"comments\/8927150\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8927150\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/26414\/avatar.jpg?v=1310091946\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"naruball\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2025\/11\/ps5-is-edging-out-the-switch-2-in-the-uk-so-far-this-year#comment8927150\">55<\/a><\/li>\n<li>naruball<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-11-29T16:42:44+00:00\">Yesterday, 4:42pm<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>@SuperYlvis you&#8217;re free to focus on anything you want.

(I tend to ignore article titles for the reasons I see you and others discussed above.)<\/p>\n<p>Part of my job (and university education) is around data analysis and use of that analysis, and despite the fact that I suppose you could say that I am firmly &#8216;on the side of PS5&#8217; (because I have no interest in owning a S2), the &#8216;conclusions&#8217; being reached were not what I would class as even partly &#8216;robust&#8217;, so I was agreeing with yourself and Mr\/Ms Moose in this regard.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the only point of interest is the fact that in October PS5 outsold S2, but even that is somewhat dubious in its value &#8211; is there such a thing as a post launch slump (where shortages are non existent of course)? I also put no value on monthly sales comparisons where 1 item is on price reduction sale &#8211; thats just meaningless.<\/p>\n<p>Just to answer a specific point you raised &#8211; I agree, the full year vs part year thing was just point of incomparable data.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article class=\"comment\" id=\"comment8927844\" data-author=\"users\/345277\" data-subject=\"comments\/8927844\" data-dislikes=\"0\" data-id=\"8927844\">\n<p class=\"avatar\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"framed lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pushsquare.com\/users\/345277\/avatar.jpg?v=1726945297\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"EvilBear\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"detail\">\n<ul class=\"info\">\n<li class=\" first\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"num\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"news\/2025\/11\/ps5-is-edging-out-the-switch-2-in-the-uk-so-far-this-year#comment8927844\">79<\/a><\/li>\n<li>EvilBear<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><time data-days=\"5\" class=\"date age \" datetime=\"2025-11-30T17:25:23+00:00\">2 hours ago<\/time><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"text\">\n<p>@judgmentarrows Which would be dreadful for consumers.

Parents are seeing the PS5 on billboards, buses and train stations. Nintendo had a pop-up store in London for what seemed like a few weeks and then it was gone, they should have done it closer to Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>To make things worse they had a ticketing system (queuing) I picked up a few collectibles\/plushes and would have gone back but it was gone. Sony don&#8217;t need to do that because they have a marketing stranglehold in the UK. Pop-up stores are meant to create a conversation through engagement, which could have worked in their favor had they spent more of that time showing what the Switch 2 can do. I don&#8217;t even think I saw it there. They had an endless supply of plushes and models from their different franchises which would make great stocking stuffers but that was about it. My take away was that Nintendo didn&#8217;t care all that much about marketing the console, they were there to market Nintendo as a brand.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"ui-comment-tools\">\n<li class=\"likes first last\">0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"empty\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ui-load-comments ui-cta-button\" onclick=\"this.innerHTML = 'Please Wait...';
