the differences between the UK sales and the worldwide sales are that the UK are buying the some of the same games but are not a very big contribution to worldwide.

it tells us that there aren't a lot of video players that use the consoles as much as players in other countries. as the UK is only a small country compared to USA it is a small contributer to the buying of products from games sold worldwide.

sony games are mainly war

nintendo games are mainly sport games with you being first person 

microsoft are mainly war

and sega are mainly sport

with wii being the highest for a number of games is shows us that wii have done well with what they are selling and that a lot of people like the games which they make and with you being the controller they prefer it because it gets you more involved and because it targets a wider audience by selling sport, war, dance, keep fit and many more. this offers old people, children, teenagers, and adults to play a range of games which will suit them and there age group.

there are a number of different ways in which you can tell what a video game is..
having a controller or a keyboard to use to control the video player
they can be used for entertainment purposes and for educational purposes
most games are challenging and have a number of different levels which you would need to be able to complete
once you have finished the game there may be a winners board, this is where you can have a winning place of where you would of been the best.

there are lots of different genre which games consist under;
war
educational
fighting
dance
platform games
arcade
mmorpg (massive multiple online role playing game)
first/third person shooter
action
adventure
driving
simulation

my favourite games out of all of the genres are driving, simulation and dance
because, i find that they are fun, and i dont really like to play a game which has levels because i get very into it and then get angry when i dont finish it so i prefere to stick with games where i can do whatever i want to.
