UK games market reaches lowest ebb

Olympics fever was good news for publishers of Olympic-based games, but it wasn’t enough to save the UK games market from its worst performance ever last week.
UKIE/Chart-Track data reveals that the total value of the physical UK games market for the week ending July 28^th 2012 was £8.40m – the lowest since records began.
And while early data suggests that the following week has been an improvement, August looks to be another challenging month for the market until new releases such as New Super Mario Bros 2 (August 17^th), Sleeping Dogs (August 17^th)and Darksiders II (August 21^st).
