Sony are the Biggest Sellers in the UK

A new report has been released showing how many sales different games consoles’ games and game publishers are achieving in the UK. The results weren’t especially surprising, but they are interesting, especially as we don’t ever get to see any actual sales figures.

The report shows that 5.2% of all games sold in the UK were for Sony’s PlayStation 4 – more than half of the UK market share. 31.6% of the games in the UK were sold for the Xbox One. PC showed as a very low 1.3%, however, the report didn’t take into account digital sales, so the figure for this is probably not all that accurate.

EA was the top publisher and sold 16.8% of all boxed games in the UK. This was closely followed by Activision Blizzard with 15.6%, and Nintendo with 11.2%.

One of the more surprising details came from mobile games figures, which showed Subway Surfers to be the top mobile download.
