AUCKLAND, New Zealand, 22 January 2009 - A bumper Christmas for video gaming has pushed the total number of consoles sold in NZ to more than 830,000.
Market research company GfK Retail and Technology tracks New Zealand console numbers, and figures show that the NZ console market has shown growth of around 15%, with more than 177,000 consoles sold in New Zealand last year.
"Multiple generations are gaming - and research shows that people are increasingly looking for 'active relaxation' activities like video gaming, as opposed to sitting in front of the television, or 'passive relaxation'." says Xbox NZ category manager, Tom Hunt.
Hunt says Xbox 360 sold more than 10,000 consoles in December alone, taking total NZ sales to almost 90,000.
Hunt expects sales to remain strong in 2009 and predicts more people will connect their consoles to the internet than ever before.
