The video game industry is bucking the retail recession,
reports the Financial Times.
Microsoft said November was its biggest sales month in Europe
for the Xbox 360 console, with sales up124% year-on-year.
European retailer Game Group has also bucked the trend by
reporting a rise in sales, although the pace of growth had
slowed.
Wal-Mart said consumers are still spending on "hot" consumer
electronics such as the Wii console.
