PS4 has recorded its second biggest sales week in the UK, only bettered by launch figures, reports Chart-Track.

Chart-Track notes that Black Friday promotions saw increases for almost the entire Top 40, with PS4 hardware and software performing exceptionally well. Console bundling saw Uncharted 4 re-enter the Top 40 at No.8, Driveclub is back at No.20 and Ratchet & Clank returns to No.25.

Video games analyst Daniel Ahmad notes that PS4 console sales for the week are more than 140,000 units.

Update: GamesIndustry sources note that PS4 console sales were 142,578 units, some 50,000 units higher than Xbox One.

Chart-Track doesn’t offer any insight into Xbox One hardware sales over the discounted shopping week.

Software sales were dominated by Nintendo’s Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon, which Chart-Track notes had a spectacular launch. Combined sales of the two titles would see it top the chart, but individually Nintendo’s latest hit couldn’t better FIFA 17 and Infinite Warfare, both of which were heavily discounted during Black Friday.
