22 Million Gaming Consoles In UK Households


Gfk Chart Track media sales tracker reports that the total number of current generation gaming consoles in the UK has reached 22 million, which is slightly short of the 25 million or so households in the UK and Northern Ireland.

2008 ended with Nintendo's Wii console dominating the ranking with nearly five million consoles, followed by 3.2 million Xbox 360 and 1.9 million Playstation 3 gaming consoles (that's up from 900,000 the year before).

The handheld segment is another arena where Nintendo dominated the competition (AKA Sony's PSP) with 8.8 million units compared to 3.2 million for Sony's handheld console.
