Console sales propels Game into the black

Computer games retailer Game returned to profit today as it geared up for the Christmas trading season with an upbeat set of half-year results.

The launch of new consoles, including the much-anticipated PlayStation 3, provided Game with a strong market in the six months to the end of July, with profits of £1.3 million (€1.85m) contrasting with losses of £7.1m (€10.1m) in 2006.
