Tesco doubles games market share

Mammoth retailer Tesco is also planning to boost its presence in the video games market, after a strong year in the sector.

We’ve doubled our market share in both hardware and games," Tesco’s category director for entertainment Rob Salter told MCV’s sister site PCR.

"And we’ve invested quite heavily in resources – we’ve got a new team together, we’ve got more space, and we are moving into pre-owned games this year. A lot of it is investment in people, and we are working that market this year.”
