While Microsoft's Xbox One emerged victorious in the Black Friday shopping stakes over in the US, it appears the newly-launched Sony PS4 might have gained an early advantage at home in the UK.
Amazon UK has predicted the Sony console will become the fastest-selling in the retailer's history, eclipsing the previous record, ironically set by the Xbox One a week ago.

On the contrary, the company that owns PC World and Currys said that the Xbox One had 'nudged into the lead' in terms of pre-orders.
