Rockstar energy
Can you believe this? Grand Theft Auto V, the game which first released all the way back in 2013, is currently top of the UK sales charts in 2017.

Switch it up
An exciting week comes to an end, with the Nintendo Switch now a known quantity. Of course, that's a topic of discussion for Nintendo Life and not necessarily Push Square. We've had a busy week as well, though, reviewing the likes of Gravity Rush 2 – and let me tell you, we're crunching really hard on a number of January's big titles...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Keeps a Healthy Lead as Final Fantasy XV Nears 1 Million
Fantasy's almost a reality
There's not too much going on in the latest Japanese hardware and software charts, but it's nice to see both the PlayStation 4 and Vita ticking along rather nicely. Sony's current-gen console has enjoyed a relatively healthy run of late, and it's sold another 78,927 units last week. Given that the PS4 averaged around...

Nothin' to see here
It may be a New Year, but some things never change: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has remained at the top of the UK sales charts for the… We've lost count, but it's been a long time now. The game fought off fierce competition from the usual suspects, with FIFA 17 and Grand Theft Auto V coming in just behind. Battlefield 1,...

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Ends 2016 On Top
Last but not least
The final Japanese hardware and software charts of 2016 are in, and the PlayStation 4 has reclaimed its place at the top of the former. Sony's current-gen console jumped Nintendo's New 3DS LL, shifting a relatively healthy 73,421 units. That means the PS4 manged to sell through almost 1.8 million units in Japan last year. Not an...

CoD and chips
In the penultimate UK sales chart of the year, tracking data for the week through 24th December, the maligned Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare maintained its position at the top of the best sellers list – not bad for a supposed "flop", eh?

Another year gone. Times flies, doesn't it? 2016 may have been, erm, less than stellar in a lot of respects, but the games industry was by no means one of the problems. Quality reigned supreme across so many titles it's hard to keep track. Not to be left behind, though, was the music from these games, which delivered some top...

CoD and flops
As reported earlier in the month, the PlayStation 4 won the November 2016 NPD report, breaking a four month Xbox One streak.

Mind the ghouls
Wow, it's been a while since we wrote about Minecraft, but its newly announced Fallout skin pack looks too cool to ignore.

The prim and proper Haru is the star of your latest Persona 5 character trailer, as she sips tea and shoots shadows in the face.

News Sony Reveals Winners of Japan's PlayStation Awards 2016
Prize pots
Sony's annual PlayStation Awards ceremony in Japan is a little bit weird, because it generally recognises commercial success ahead of critical acclaim.

But starts strong all the same
Final Fantasy XV couldn't Noctis FIFA 17 from its perch in this week's UK sales charts – but it still registered the second strongest first week sales for a Final Fantasy game in Britain, falling only short of Final Fantasy XIII's week one numbers. We're pretty sure that Square Enix will see that as a success –...

News The Reaction to December's PlayStation Plus Games Has Not Been Positive
Not so happy holidays
Earlier this week, Sony leaked December's PlayStation Plus offerings on its very own digital storefront.

As expected, Pokémon has attacked the Japanese sales charts with all the force of several suns and moons combined.

Looking back on it, the PlayStation 3 was such a fascinating console. It had the worst start in life: overpriced, difficult to develop for, a commercial catastrophe – the device was a disaster.
