News UK Sales Charts: ANTHEM Holds Off New Releases for Another Number One
Sing it loud
Despite the launch of several new titles last week, it's EA's ANTHEM that takes number one in the latest UK chart. It may be facing problems, but the sci-fi shooter is atop the chart for the second week in a row, once again holding off the likes of FIFA 19 and Far Cry: New Dawn. New releases haven't done too badly, though. The LEGO...

News UK Sales Charts: ANTHEM Is Number One Despite Underwhelming Start
Singing a bum note
In spite of some pretty damning analysis, ANTHEM soared straight to the number one spot in the UK's weekly retail chart. BioWare's looter shooter released to a rather cold reception, and even though it's atop the chart, it appears to have underperformed. The developer's last game, Mass Effect: Andromeda, sold more than double in...

The first NPD result of the year is in, and the industry slipped to a 19 per cent year-over-year decline in the United States – despite titles like Kingdom Hearts III and Resident Evil 2 putting in a decent performance.
