Christmas came early last week for British game retailers as the buying public voted with their cash. Sales for all platforms rocketed as the holiday season truly reared its money-covered head.
PlayStation 2 sold a whopping 92,440 consoles in the week ending November 30, a 39 percent increase on the previous week. Xbox was also sitting pretty, having moved 21,318 machines, up 42 percent on the week before.
GameCube may be licking its wounds in third place in the console race, but there are sure to smiles at Nintendo today. Miyamoto's purple marvel sold 10,065 units, up 27 percent week over week, and GBA cleared up with 27,495 machines settling neatly into British gamers' hands. The figure marks a 21 percent increase over the previous week.
Just look at that PS2 figure. Look at it. Ask any retailer and they'd tell you that it's the stuff of dreams. Here's looking to next week. We can barely contain ourselves.

90,000 units!??! Bloody hell! Is there anyone out there that doesn't actually have one?
Xbox is still doing quite nicely as well - good stuff. Nintendo are still raking the money in with two machines on the market.
