Do we have numbers for the rest of Europe? I mean... Considering France and Germany are now a larger market than the UK.


Console wise, the UK is the largest market in Europe.


Console wise, it's not anymore since the UK's video game market has drop over 3 billion in revenue since 2010.

According to VGCs numbers, since 2010, the UK was the biggest market for consoles every year except 2012, when it was beaten by France by a small amount.

Why is everyone putting White Eagle on the cross for not liking Minecraft? Not liking things that don't interest you isn't exactly a new thing.


Not liking something is completely different from hating something. I know its cliche but hate is a really strong word. And do you really want a popular indie game to have that much control over your life that whenever you hear its name your blood boils or something like that? Its just a game. No need to "hate" it. I dont care for Minecraft at all and have never played it in my life. If its popular after this long then there's something there people like, and I respect that. 



Great for TLOU, excellent game. Enjoying it just as much on PS4 as I did on PS3.

That's more than I was expecting for The Remastered of Us. Good for it. May have legs with the bundle too.

Tomodachi continues to impress me.

Looks like a fair few XB1 games are up this week while Titanfall is down, too. Odd.

Those revenues include PC gaming, which is much more popular in France and Germany. But I am only talking about consoles. According to the sales figures, the UK is the biggest market for consoles. Having said that, we all know VGC figures aren't the most reliable so you could be right.
