UK physical games charts still AWOL

Just how did the UK games industry perform during an epic Black Friday sales period?

Well, we’re still waiting for GfK Chart-Track to tell us.

The firm normally releases its UK physical charts on Monday morning, but the data company said yesterday that these were going to be delayed following ‘a key retailer’ being unable to share its sales data following a systems failure.

The charts were delayed until today, but now it seems we won’t be receiving them until later in the week.

And it’s already caused huge issues for this week’s MCV.

One publisher has called MCV up to complain, saying: The delay is playing havoc with our weekend sales forecast.”

Chart-Track tells MCV it is working around the clock to get the charts out as soon as possible.
