A GamesIndustry.biz report<\/a> reveals that February was a rather quiet month in the UK this year; the 1.7 million game sales total recorded last month sees a 15.4% drop year-on-year. Just under 900,000 of those sales were digital (although this figure doesn’t include sales from all publishers), with the rest being physical.<\/p>\n

Console sales have also fallen year-on-year, actually tumbling by 37% as PlayStation and Xbox fans look forward to new hardware later in the year. Switch was reportedly the best-selling console by a comfortable margin, with sales performing at a similar rate to this time last year. The Neon Red\/Blue version of the console sold most.<\/p>\n

The chart below shows February 2020’s top 20 games across both physical and digital formats. Note that Nintendo doesn’t share digital sales data, so Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/strong><\/a>‘s positon only reflects physical sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

As a final interesting note, the best-selling toys-to-life product for the month was the Dark Samus amiibo, which has now managed to top the list for two months in a row.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
