Bumper year for UK game industry
The UK gaming industry had its best
year ever in 2005 reveals figures from
the The Entertainment & Leisure
Software Publishers Association.
A modest annual increase in growth of
0.7% saw the UK gaming market grow to
be worth £1.35bn. Top selling game of
2005 was Fifa 06.
Elspa said this was healthy given that
2005 was a transition year between
generations of gaming consoles.
However, Elspa said, handheld game
launches helped firms prosper.
