Slight dip for UK software market

Sector worth £17.8m for the week ending September 4th

The UK software market has dipped just slightly in terms of software this week.

According to MCV calculations based on this week’s Gfk-ChartTrack/ELSPA data, the UK software market was worth £17.8m for the week ending September 4th.

Overall the market has held relatively steady, with consumers buying software to accompany the recently launched new, slimmer PlayStation 3 model – with games such as Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare benefiting from the arrival of the new console.

However, although 505 Games’ IL-2 Sturmovik and Square Enix’s Dissidia: Final Fantasy performed strongly, there were no new releases that could compare to last week’s smash hit Batman: Arkham Asylum, which continues to dominate the ChartTrack Top 40 at No.1.
