Thanks to GamesIndustry, we have new insight into the UK gaming market for December 2021.
The hardware market is where things really paid off for Nintendo. Switch was the top console of the month, and believe it or not, saw a 6 percent increase compared to November. Xbox Series X | S followed second, with the PlayStation 5 coming in third.
