Games Industry?s Christopher Dring has revealed that PlayStation 5 games accounted for nearly 19 percent of all boxed game sales in the United Kingdom last week even though the console has yet to launch in the country.
The PS5 will be out in the UK this week on Thursday, November 19th, but its games and peripherals are available in stores already so it?s understandable that potential buyers have stocked up. However, claiming 19 percent of boxed game sales is still quite a feat, especially considering this year has been a financial disaster for many in light of Covid-19. One thing?s for sure: it doesn?t look like the events of 2020 had much of a negative impact on the video games industry.
