No growth for games mags in ABCs

The UK games mags have seen falls across the board, according to the latest figures from ABC.

The steepest falls were suffered by Official Nintendo and GamesMaster, which saw readership falls of over 6,000 each.

But there were dips across the board for all the games press – with the exception of Official Xbox magazine, where readers actually increased by 25 individuals.

360Gamer also saw a readership increase for the last six months of 2010 compared to the first six months of the year. However, compared to the same period in 2009, that publication’s readership is also down.
