Still a work in progress, will update as more data becomes available.



Updated with some more data, Wii was biggest software seller with 20.1m units followed by NDS (19.1m), 360 (14.9m), and PS3 (10.4m).

Total hardware, software, and accessories doesn't add up to the total amount given, I don't know where the discrepancy lies.



PS3 software is doing impressive considering the market share they have.



Impressive DS software sale if you think that it has the lowest MSRP price.

Updated with PSP data.



Wow, PS3 owners must be pretty hardcore in the UK. That's a huge attach ratio!

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

It should be somewhere between 7-8 games/console.



what the hell. are you sure thats right with ps3? looks like all ps3 owners are extra hardcore in the UK.



Updated with PC and total Console & Handheld units. No PS2 figures yet, but we can work out it sold around 5.7m units of software.
