U.K. game sales declined 3% year-over-year in January, GI.biz reports

U.K. video game sales declined 3% year-over-year in January, Gamesindustry.biz’s Christopher Dring reports, citing data from GSD. Despite strong sales of Electronic Arts’ (EA) “EA Sports FC” and Sony‘s (SONY) “The Last of Us Part II Remastered,” console sales dropped 19% year-over-year, Dring says, citing data from GfK. Sony’s PlayStation 5, Microsoft (MSFT) Xbox Series X/S, and the Nintendo Switch (NTDOY) all saw declines in sales during the month, the author says, noting that the prior January’s numbers were boosted by a sudden arrival of stock.
