GAME Digital plc reported sales results for the eleven weeks period to 10 January 2015. The company's leading customer offers over the period have driven substantial hardware volume growth ahead of budget, but at lower ASPs and margin, as a result although hardware volume sales increased 25.1% year-on-year in the UK, group sales for the 11 week period declined by 5.4% on a constant currency basis.

The Board expects to achieve sales growth in the second half of 2015, with a good schedule of new software releases against the backdrop of a rapidly growing installed base of Xbox One and Playstation 4 consoles to which to sell physical and digital content and accessories. Due to the lower than expected margin rates being achieved on hardware, the Board expects that underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation for the fifty two weeks ending 1 August 2015 will be broadly in line with last year of £51.3 million.
