Figures released earlier this year by the Electronic Retailers Association compared gaming's economic impact in the UK with that of the film and televisions industries. This latest report has a slightly broader remit, considering spending linked to the games industry - including things like merchandise, associated products like movies based on games, and PC hardware. This is why the overall figure of the games market's value to the UK economy is higher here than that reported by the ERA.
