Uk gamers are going cheap

According to a report made by Kantar Worldpanel and picked up byMCV, pre-owned game sales in the UK are up 25% on last year, but the number of people purchasing pre-owned games has not increased.

Last-gen consoles account for almost two thirds of pre-owned sales in the UK, with over a third of people purchasing pre-owned games under 25 years of age.

The fact that this year has seen a decrease in online passes bundled with games and the dropping price of last-gen titles are both likely responsible in part for this year’s increased second hand sales numbers.

So, how often do you buy second hand games in the UK?
