If this week’s UK chart was a tower then Nintendo’s Pandora’s Tower would still be on the doorstep – it makes its chart appearance at a very poor #38. This is a slight surprise – even GAME are stocking this one and reviews have been pretty good. Maybe Wii owners are still busy with The …
Last week Resident Evil: Revelations made the news as eagle-eyed gamers spotted a host of ‘typos’ not only on the box but also during the cut-scenes. This week it’s making news again – it’s at #6 in this week’s UK chart, making it the first new release of 2012 to make the top 10. FIFA …
Last week wasn’t a great one for UK videogame sales. FIFA 12 holds onto the top of the chart for a fourth week running even though sales were down 54% from last week. Just Dance 3 climbs to #2 with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 finishing …
There isn’t much going on in the top five positions of the UK chart – FIFA 12 holds onto the top spot, followed by Battlefield 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Just Dance 3 and Skyrim – but the bottom half of the top 10 has seen a bit of action. Zumba Fitness hurdles …
If you’re thinking that Nintendo’s decision to release Boom Street on Wii on 28th December was a strange one, then you’d be right. Most gamers are still playing the games they received for Christmas while retailers are focused on promoting their sales rather than shifting new releases. As such, Boom Street not only fails to …
UK retailers have some incredible discounts at the moment – GAME has been selling Xenoblade: Chronicles and RAGE for £9.98 while yesterday Morrisons reduced half a dozen 3DS games to £7 a pop. We’ll have to wait until next week though to see how the sales have affected the UK chart, as this week’s UK …
Even with sales down 54% from last week, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception can’t knock Battlefield 3 off the top of the chart. Drake has to do with #2. Battlefield 3 is now the first Battlefield to stay at the top of the chart for two weeks in a row – Battlefield: Bad Company 2 only …
Nobody else stood a chance, did they? EA’s Battlefield 3 marches to the top of the chart, with the Xbox 360 version proving to be the most popular of all. Chart-Track tells us that day one sales are higher than the day one sales for the previous 17 Battlefield games combined. 17! Batman: Arkham City …
For a reason we cannot understand, Just Dance 3 was released on Tuesday last week rather than Friday. Even with a few extra day’s worth of sales behind it Ubisoft’s dancing game hasn’t been able to outsell FIFA 12, entering at #3 in the top 40 UK chart. Forza Motorsport 4 on the other hand …
Glowing reviews for Dark Souls and heavy TV promotion for RAGE haven’t helped either to dethrone FIFA 12 from the top of the UK top 40 chart. Both have done very well though – RAGE makes #2 with Dark Souls at #3. It’s the PS3 version of Dark Souls which has shifted the most, which …
Chart-Track stopped their PlayStation 2 full price chart last month. This means only one thing – they have been unable to compile one as next to no full price games have been sold. How do we know this? Because Chart-Track made news headlines yonks ago, after they reported that they were ending the N-Gage chart …
Predictably, FIFA 12 has pushed Gears of War 3 off the top of the UK chart this week. It has become the third biggest UK launch ever, with launch sales up 18% over FIFA 11. You may recall that we were mildly interested in seeing how well the PlayStation 2 version performed, considering that you …
FIFA 12 – or Females Ignored For Another 12 months, as some people have cheekily titled it – is this week’s biggest release. Plenty of good things are being said, although 360 magazine pointed out that if you’re only playing it offline you’re going to miss out on the best stuff. There a rather informative …
FIFA 12 has been confirmed for release on Sony’s aging black block. Nope, not the PSP – the PlayStation 2. A couple of games have been released on PS2 this year already – WWE All Stars and Ben 10: Cosmic Destruction – but my money was on last year’s FIFA being the last. The PlayStation …
