Forums - Nintendo Discussion - UK games sales hit record £5bn thanks to Nintendo Switch and VR

https://www.theguardian.com/games/2018/mar/02/nintendo-switch-and-vr-drive-uk-games-sales-to-record-5bn

Confirmation that the switch is doing well in the UK, if any is needed:

Trade body Ukie said that there has been a “renaissance” in games consoles as Nintendo’s hybrid home console-meets-handheld device proved as popular in the UK as it has globally. Console sales, including the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, grew 30% to £659m, reversing a sales decline since 2014.

I went to Game at Trafford centre last night after an outing with friends and I met 2 people inquiring about the switch , the switch game shelves were well stacked and some were even out of stock there.

I don't get how this works. Did you spend the most on adnroid or Windows?



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

PC games of course, Android is only a thin line.

Can you add a 3D blue/red filter on it so I could understand 3D better?

Why not a good old 2D graph instead ?

No spatial imagination? Here you go in boring 2D:

And for the fans of stacked columns:



Did ps4 and xbox not make up the majority of 2017 revenue?



Great to hear Switch is doing well over there...last I heard is was strangely lacking compared to France and Germany.

Also great to hear VR is a factor and doing good.

2017 was a crazy year for the gaming biz for sure. Exciting times.

They did,but the rise of new products selling above expectations helped to boost the market.

Regardless of what some may say, the Industry is a lot healthier when Nintendo are doing well. There is Definitely a market for all 3 to coexist. Finally it's starting to mirror the previous gen when all three were selling great numbers. I find it boring when Sony dominate.
