The World's Top Five Video Games for 2008
The NPD Group, GfK Chart-Track Limited and Enterbrain have joined forces to release the Top Global Markets Report, the first report to combine point-of-sales data for video game sales in the world's largest games markets, aka the U.S., U.K. and Japan.
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.
