Video Games Outsell Movies in U.K.
Video games have surpassed movie sales in the U.K. by a huge margin. Making that achievement even more impressive is the fact that DVD and Blu-ray sales are figured into the total as well. 
In the 12 months leading up to the end of September, 1.73 billion British pounds (about $2.8 billion) were spent on video games, according to data-monitoring company GFK Chart-Track. The U.K. Film Council said 1 billion British pounds ($1.6 billion) were spent at the British box office during the same period, with an additional 198 million British pounds ($320 million) spent on films released on DVD and Blu-ray.
