Xbox 360 and PS3 are quite close on games sales considering the 3 million lead the Xbox enjoys in the UK. Only 1.1 million ahead in games sales, Xbox is hardly dominating just leading the market, that's all

Also interesting that PC enjoys better game sales than 3DS. And people said PC gaming was dying

Finally, how can Vita or Wii U sell many games when they get hardly any shelf space. Both have a decent amount of games but get no more than a dozen games on display in Game.

Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

I am just wondering that you actually think that this makes a difference.

I don't think the difference is more than say 10-15% of total sales, but I think it was worth pointing out that buying the digital version of new games is an option for PS3 owners and it would take away from retail sales.

Yep, PC third platform in UK, bigger than Wii and 3DS. And UK isn't even one of the countries where PC is stronger.
