PlayStation 2 continues to batter the competition in the latest UK sales figures for the week ending December 14, as GameCube and Xbox show healthy growth.

PS2 shifted 111,066 units, a slight drop of two percent on the previous week, while Xbox achieved sales of 32,805, a rise of 18 percent, and GameCube an increase of 16 percent to 13,403. GBA sales by fell eight percent over the same period to 29,899.

With PS2 in an unassailable position and Xbox now seemingly well established in the number two spot, GameCube has a lot of catching up to do in 2003, but with healthy sales in all corners of the market, it looks like being an extremely prosperous Christmas for the games industry. Ho! Ho! Ho!
