the top 3 main companies in the video game world are nintendo, microsoft, sony.

the top 10 games for the best selling games of 2010 (UK)
  1. Call of Duty: Black Ops
  2. FIFA 11

  4. Red Dead Redemption
  5. Wii Fit Plus

the main genres of the games above are war, sport, dance.

the top 3 selling consoles are wii, xbox and ps3.

xbox have sold the most units since it has been released.

according to wikia the top 7th generation games worldwide are 
wii play (wii) selling 22 million
nintendogs (nintendo DS) selling 20 million
halo 3 (xbox 360) selling 8 million
metal gear solid 4 (ps3) selling 4 million
GTA: liberty city stories (PSP) selling 2 million

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.
