The average price of boxed games in the UK is at its highest point ever.
GfK Chart-Track revealed to MCV that gamers on average spent £29.42 on each game, that's a huge increase of £3 over 2012.
There's two main reasons for the increase – a reduction in the number of budget-priced games (particularly on Wii and DS) and more expensive pricing on next-gen games on PS4, Xbox One and Wii U.

Chart-Track added that, based on historic data, the price of new console games do tend to drop after a year of the new machines being out.
This statistic is part of MCV's extensive 2013 market report, which you can find in this week's edition of MCV.
