I should have saved last week’s ‘Aye carumba – it’s Zumba’ headline for this week – Zumba Fitness now at #1 in the chart, pushing Crysis 2 to #2. It’s the first ever #1 for 505 Games and also the first fitness game to take the top of the chart since Wii Fit Plus in …
The eye-ball pleasing Crysis 2 has managed to stay at the top of the chart for another week. The game at #2 may surprise you – it isn’t MotorStorm Apocalyspe (which makes its appearance at a lowly #17) or Shift 2: Unleashed (in at #4) but rather Zumba Fitness. Not wanting to blow my own …
With so many releases out last week it would have been a miracle if Homefront managed to hold onto the top spot. It’s now at #3, making way for Crysis 2 at #1 and the apparently better than expected LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars at #2. Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition is …
Chart Track are bursting with statistics this week. To wit – Homefront has become THQ’s first #1 since UFC: Undisputed in 2009 with an astounding 70% of copies sold on Xbox 360. Kaos Studio’s last game – Frontlines: Fuel of War – managed to get to #4 in the chart in 2008; already Homefront has …
Another week, another #1 for publishing powerhouse EA. This time it’s Dragon Age II. Clearly the fact that EDGE only gave it a 6 hasn’t harmed sales. Bioware’s RPG pushes Pokemon White to #2 while at #3 there’s another new title from EA – Fight Night Champion. uDraw Studio has had a much better second …
Even with the 3DS mere days away, Nintendo fans still managed to find £30 to purchase either Pokemon White or Pokemon Black. The former sold the most out of the two, taking #1 in the chart and shoving Killzone 3 off the top. Pokemon Black goes in at #2 while EA’s Fight Night Champion punches …
Last week Sony said that console-exclusive titles hold back the industry; this week Killzone 3 is #1 in the chart. I’m not sure if that means they’re eating their words right now, but it’s not hard to imagine Sony being pretty chuffed that it beat Bulletstorm. EA’s slick shooter goes in at #2, with 81% …
It’s a good first week for Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, but not quite as good as we expected: it debuts at #2. That’s a bit better than Marvel vs Capcom 2, which entered the chart at #183 back in 2002. That’s not an exaggeration: it’s a Chart-Track fact, friends. “Enough trivia, …
After two weeks at the top of the chart, Dead Space 2 steps down to Test Drive Unlimited 2 making it Namco Bandai’s first #1 since acquiring Atari Europe. The chaps at Chart Track also tell us that sales were split like this: 68% Xbox 360 version, 28% PlayStation 3 and 4% PC. I guess …
EA’s Dead Space 2 manages to cling onto the top of the chart for the second week running. That’s followed by FIFA 11, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, Call of Duty: Black Ops and LittleBigPlanet 2. It’s good to see LittleBigPlanet 2 still sticking around – usually titles of niche appeal rank highly then swiftly vanish. At …
So far this year we’ve had a new #1 every week. Last week it was LittleBigPlanet 2; this week it’s Dead Space 2. The original only managed to get to #6 in the chart, so well done EA. I think this proves that games can sell well even in the dark and depressing month of …
Super sequel LittleBigPlanet 2 has managed to take the top spot of the all formats chart this week. Shoving Call of Duty: Black Ops off the top must surely feel like an achievement for Media Molecule. Or should that say ‘like a trophy’? Probably not, as that wouldn’t make much sense. With the bleated PlayStation …
FIFA 11 has been top of the chart for a couple of weeks but now Call of Duty: Black Ops has re-taken the top spot. Kinect Sports has risen from #10 to #5 and this week also marks the appearance of the first new entry of 2011 – DC Universe Online at #10. The Xbox …
It would seem that more than a few gamers ate too much over the festive period. Just Dance 2 is up from #4 to #2, Wii Fit Plus has risen from #13 to #5 while EA Sports Active 2 has entered at #13. Kinect Sport is also still in the top 10, although it has …
UK Charts This week’s chart is the first since Christmas. This means that a lot of new console owners have been contributing to game sales over the last seven days, and also those who have been out looking for bargains in the sales. There’s a change over on the top of the chart for starters …
