SONY PICK UP TWO SILVER'S IN THE SAME WEEK
The announcement of five more ELSPA Sales Awards indicates the ever-growing
success of the UK's leisure software industry.
Gold Awards (for sales of 200,000+ units) achieved by:
The Sims: Livin It Up (PC CD ROM format). Published by Electronic Arts,
released in week 36 of 2000.
Tekken Tag Tournament (PlayStation 2 format)). Published by Namco, released
in week 46 of 2000.
Silver Awards (for sales of 100,000+ units) achieved by:
Pokemon Trading Card Game (GameBoy Console). Published by Nintendo, released
in week 49 of 2000.
This is Football 2002 (PlayStation 2 format). Published by Sony Computer
Entertainment Europe, released in week 39 of 2001.
Formula One 2001 (PlayStation 2 format). Published by Sony Computer
Entertainment Europe in week 21 of 2001.
With more than 38% of the UK population now having access to a games
console, it's really no surprise to see the sales levels for computer games
software still on the increase. And it's no longer just the boys who admit
to the passion of gaming, a recent report published by ELSPA and Screen
Digest (The Wirelesss, Interactive TV and Online Gaming Market Assessment &
Forecast) suggests that more than 40% of digital TV gamers are women.
Roger Bennett, Director General of ELSPA commented:
"Since the launch of the ELSPA Sales Awards in 1999, ELSPA has presented
more than 180 awards to publishers of top selling computer games. Many
industry sectors have now introduced award memorabilia as a means of
congratulating their members on their individual achievements however, the
ELSPA Sales Awards are special, as they provide a definitive guide to the
level of success for each a game, per individual format, and to achieve
these levels is solely dependant on the purchases made by the toughest
judges of all - the games' buyers themselves.
"I would like to congratulate Nintendo, Electronic Arts, Namco and Sony
Computer Entertainment Europe on their achievements and wish them every
success for their future developments."
