The UK has broken its previous first quarter software sales record with 17.89 million units sold and £418.4 million earned. This surpasses last year's first quarter by two million units and £100 million. Nintendo made up 37% of units sold, with Mario & Sonic at the Olympics leading the pack during the quarter (please stop!).

GI.biz was told by Chart-Track that the period shows "innovative" and "family-friendly" games are doing well, and that consumers of all ages are purchasing them. According to the March NPD data "family-friendly" isn't as necessary in the States, though Nintendo did sell 2.7 million units of Smash Bros. Brawl last month and dominated hardware sales during the quarter.
