The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will be available in the UK within two weeks of each other, if a set of leaked dates from retailer Toys'R'Us are to be believed.
BT Games reports that the Xbox One will be available in Britain on November 29, while the PlayStation 4 will arrive on December 13.
When Toys'R'Us was contacted for comment about whether these were simply placeholder dates or if they had a factual basis, a spokesperson replied, "I can confirm this information has been given direct from our suppliers and is accurate."
Following this, Microsoft released the following clarification: "We have announced that Xbox One will launch this November, but have not shared any further details. It’s common practice for retailers to use placeholder dates for pre-order items without an official launch date. Please stay tuned to news.xbox.com, where we share the latest official details about all things Xbox One."
So, are these the official launch dates? While it's certainly possible, there's nothing to suggest that suppliers aren't using placeholder dates as well. We know that the Xbox One will be available at some stage in November, and the PlayStation 4 before the end of the year. Seeing as there have been mutterings already this year that the PlayStation 4 will arrive in November, it's impossible to discern which dates are accurate and which aren't.
Until Sony and Microsoft come out and say something official, we're going to have to make do with speculation. With Gamescom coming later this month though, there's every chance that we may hear something concrete soon.
