What better way to spend a Wednesday evening eh? Yes UK retailer Game has released lifetime sales figures of all the current consoles. Data like this is relatively rare in the UK and makes predictably interesting reading. No surprises on the biggest sellers then – yes Nintendo leads the way with 8.8 million DS sales. Next up is – gasp – the Wii with 4.9 million. Perhaps the most interesting stat is next up with the 360 and PSP neck and neck at 3.2 million sales. Yes that's right, the PSP has sold as many units in the UK as the 360. But while the 360 is inundated with new releases the PSP, er, isn't. Surely some mistake? Or do PSP owners simply not buy games?
Last up is the PS3 with 1.9 million sales. The PS3 is doing better in mainland Europe though, with 300,000 more sales than the Xbox 360.
Go on then. Grab a coffee/beer/water and let us know what you think these figures tell us. Me? I'm still a little surprised at how many PSPs have been sold.
