An international market report has revealed
that the world’s three largest game markets – Japan, the US and the UK
– have experienced markedly contrasting rates of growth and decline for
the third calendar-quarter.
The
Top Global Markets Report – which aggregates data from the NPD Group,
GfK Chart-Track as well as Enterbrain – reveals that the UK videogame
market rose 15 percent over the same period last year. For the same
July-September period, the US held a steady 8 percent growth over last
year’s results while Japan saw its market tumble 21 percent.
The report has provided point-of-sale data for video game software sales in all three markets.
