First thing: PC sales are huge remember they are tracking stuff like sims and other casual junk too.

Second: UK is canibilizing a lot of sales from other EU countries I'm saving around 50% of cash by simply buing my games there.

PC sales made up 12% of first half 2008 sales, this is accounted for in the estimated YTD sales. Lots of people import games from Japan too.

 



Impressive, the UK is really growing in the gaming market. And to think we have a sales chart JUST for Japan. Still, their market is different enough to justify it.



everything is just going the way against sony
the sold ps3 in Japan generates more revenue than the one in UK but sadly Japanese people lost 12% of their interest in consoles this year, oh Sony



But why we don't see any uk exclusive game just as we are used in Japan? Why UK don't have publishers to just make games for this especific market?
Just tell me, UK market are bigger than japanese and Jpan have all this special stuff like entire frachises realesed only there and UK don't. Tell me a reason for this special treatment with japan

How about the different culture both markets are in for starters . Japanese have very different taste in games compared to the rest of the world , while the uk are very much like all western countries so if it sells well in the uk it will sell well in the rest of Europe so no need to make it exclusive ,its just that simple really .



impressive, despite the economic crisis the games industry here in the uk just keeps on growing

 because in Japan we a Fam and MC giving us weekly figures. I am sure if charttrack gave exact figure we would have a seperate chart for the UK too.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Is any of this because people from Europe are buying games and systems in the UK because stuff is cheaper their due to the breakdown on the UK currency? Is it 5% of sales last month, 10% this month?

Very Healthy UK numbers... unless JPN is getter weaker than I thought..... Nah, I'm sure the UK numbers are just very good, and the JPN a little lower than a year ago.
