Combined chart coming soon
It's been a long time coming, but the first ever digital game sales chart for the UK will be published later this week.

News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 19 Kicks Off 2019 in Number One Spot
An uneventful first week
Now the busy festive season is over, it's only natural that game sales will tail off for a while, and the UK's first physical chart of 2019 is almost entirely unchanged from last week. Perhaps the biggest difference is that FIFA 19 and Red Dead Redemption 2 have traded places at the top of the chart, with the ever popular...
News PS4 Exclusives Feature in UK's 2018 Best Sellers
You can probably guess which ones
Two of Sony’s big PlayStation 4 exclusives featured in the UK’s best-selling games of 2018, with Marvel’s Spider-Man pulling big numbers in particular. The data, courtesy of the Entertainment Retailers Association, only counts physical sales, so you can expect every title on this list to have attracted bigger...

A good year for Sony
2018 was big 12 months for PlayStation 4 software with several blockbusters breaking all kinds of records.

News UK Sales Charts: Red Dead Redemption 2 Remains at the Top as 2019 Arrives
Rockstar has a plan, it just needs money
After landing the Christmas number one in the UK last week, Red Dead Redemption 2 holds its lead as 2018 comes to an end. The rootin' tootin' open world western looks to be another sales powerhouse for Rockstar -- we imagine it'll be sticking around in the top 10 for a while yet. The top three games haven't...

Sony hardware momentum holds
The latest Japanese charts are in, and the one new entry worth talking about is Dragon Quest Builders 2.

A respectable total, but the PS4...

Arthur Christmas
Rockstar is sure to be pleased with how Red Dead Redemption 2 is doing in the UK charts -- it's officially the country's Christmas number one.

News Japanese Sales Charts: God Eater 3 and Judgment Chart, PS4 Hardware Strong
Objection
As expected, the Nintendo Switch and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are ruling Japan right now – but the PlayStation 4 has had a couple of good weeks now, securing another 80k or so sales in the region over the past week. The platform was buoyed by the releases of God Eater 3 and Judgment, both of which opened to sales in the region of 150k...
News November 2018 NPD: PS4 Best Seller As All Systems Shine
A bumper month
The story of 2018 has by and large been that all major systems have performed well, and that continued in November with stat-tracking firm the NPD Group reporting that all three primary platforms exceeded sales of 1.3 million units for the month. As was expected, the PlayStation 4 was the best-seller in terms of unit sales, buoyed by...
News UK Sales Charts: Red Dead Redemption 2 Reclaims Top Spot
Redemption returns
Red Dead Redemption 2 has made a return to the top of the UK sales charts, where it will presumably remain through the all-important holiday period. It’s the first number one for the Western in four weeks, but a 19 per cent rise in pre-Christmas sales for the critically acclaimed Rockstar Games release saw it return to the...

One more big take
As 2018 draws to a close, Sony's released the sales charts for both the North American and European PlayStation Store, and it's Red Dead Redemption 2 that takes the top spot in November. It swaps positions with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 in both territories, while the main activity is a little further down the charts. Battlefield V...

Holiday promotions spur Sony
Thanks to a range of promotions at various Japanese retailers, the PlayStation 4 had its best week in a long, long time. Sony's console shifted an impressive 75,000 units across the standard model and the PS4 Pro -- that's a rather dramatic increase of roughly 55,000 units week-on-week. It'll be interesting to see...
News UK Sales Charts: Just Cause 4's Retail Sales Slowest in Series So Far
But no digital could be key
Just Cause 4’s retail sales got off to the slowest start in the series thus far, even failing to improve upon its 2006 predecessor. That’s according to the latest UK sales chart, which comes with the big fat caveat that digital data isn’t included. GamesIndustry.biz hypothesises that with outlets like the...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Battlefield V Continues Good Start, But PS4 Numbers Dip Slightly
The Christmas period begins
We're now heading into the Christmas period proper, and so the Japanese charts are going to make for some pretty predictable reading over the next few weeks.

News UK Sales Charts: Red Dead Redemption 2 Concedes Another Number One to FIFA 19
Beautiful Game vs. beautiful game
The shockwaves of Black Friday and Cyber Monday are still being felt in the UK charts, as some discounted titles are still disturbing the new releases. FIFA 19, for example, takes the top spot for a second week, followed up by Red Dead Redemption 2. It swaps last week's positions with Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Battlefield V Doesn't Bomb as PS4 Sees Boosted Sales
Target spotted

News UK Sales Charts: Black Friday Brings Big Changes As Battlefield V Endures Lukewarm Launch
Bargain bin
As expected, last week was a successful week overall for the UK games market, as Black Friday saw numerous titles have their prices slashed. Less physical games were sold when compared to last year's sale bonanza, but if you factor in digital copies and the fact that sales began far in advance of the holiday itself, it's still an...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Fallout 76 Scrambles into Second Place on PS4
Not a bomb
With the release of the new Pokemon games on Nintendo Switch we weren't expecting much from the rest of the software charts, and for the most part that's true. However, it's well worth highlighting Fallout 76, which managed to move a surprisingly decent 73,000 copies on PlayStation 4 and land in second place. Whether it deserves this...
News October 2018 NPD: Call of Duty, Red Dead Propel PS4 to Record Month
Sony's system sets new October high
With news that Sony’s big PlayStation 4 bundle for Black Friday 2018 is selling out this November, it seems that we can safely say the system is performing as strongly as ever five years into its lifespan.

News UK Sales Charts: Spyro Roasts Red Dead, Fallout, and Pokémon
75 per cent of sales on PS4
Activision’s onto a winner with these nostalgia fuelled PSone remakes, as Spyro: Reignited Trilogy has topped the UK sales charts – although Pokémon would have taken the W if you were to combine its multiple editions.

News Japanese Sales Charts: Black Ops 4 and Red Dead 2 Continue Impressive Top 5 Run on PS4
Western blockbusters are on a roll
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 may have been jumped by Luigi's Mansion, but the new Nintendo 3DS release wasn't able to top it by much.

News UK Sales Charts: Red Dead Redemption 2 Retains Retail Dominance for Third Week
More than a fistful of dollars
To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Red Dead Redemption 2 remains at the top of the UK retail chart for the third week in a row.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey in the conversation
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 toppled Red Dead Redemption 2 in the October 2018 PlayStation Store sales charts – but the latter only had a few days of tracking. Activision’s first-person shooter emerged victorious on both sides of the pond, while Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and FIFA 19 traded third and...

News UK Sales Charts: Red Redemption 2's Retail Sales Almost 70% on PS4
But can't topple FIFA 19 with just 27% of GTA5's debut

News Japanese Sales Charts: SoulCalibur VI Struggles As Call of Duty Cleans Up
Always believe in your soul?
The soul still burns, but it does so from within a trashcan in Japan these days. SoulCalibur VI endured a disastrous opening in its native Japan, selling a feeble 24,049 copies on the PlayStation 4. That’s way down on previous entries, and with the sequel also struggling in Western territories like the UK, it’s not...

CoD and chips
As we move further into the games industry's busiest release period, it seems most new titles are going to struggle against an immovable top three.

News UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty Sinks to 11 Year Low at Retail
But digital marches forward
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 set a new global sales record on the PlayStation Store at launch, while its first weekend at UK retail represented an 11 year low for the franchise. What can we infer from this? Either the British public has fallen out of love with Activision’s first-person shooter series (unlikely) or...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts Spider-Man PS4 Swings By
But FIFA 19 on top in Europe
A reminder of just how huge the FIFA franchise is: Marvel’s Spider-Man was forced to settle for second position in the European PlayStation Store charts for September. The web-slinger came out on top in North America, where he fought off tough competition from NBA 2K19 and EA Sports’ aforementioned soccer sim. They...

Spider-Man still in top 10
It's been another solid week for PlayStation 4 software sales in Japan.

Fellow newcomer Mega Man 11 also made the top ten, coming in at number seven on...
News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 19 Outmanoeuvres Assassin's Creed Odyssey for Top Spot
Greek tragedy
Despite underperforming at physical retail compared to its predecessor, FIFA 19 is number one for its second week on sale. The drop from last week's sales numbers is 64 per cent, which actually isn't too bad for a game -- especially one that will likely have far longer legs than many of the other titles currently in the charts...
News PS4 Controlled 63% of the UK's Software Share in September
Marvelous
Sony absolutely obliterated the competition in September, with the PlayStation 4 controlling 62.8 per cent of the UK’s physical software share.

News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 19 Is Already the Biggest Game of the Year
But sales are down compared to 2018
FIFA 19 sprung Marvel Spider-Man’s offside trap to secure the biggest launch of 2018 in the UK – even though physical sales are down 25 per cent year-over-year. It’s worth remembering that GfK Chart-Track only takes into account physical sales right now, so the digital data may skew matters somewhat. The...

Amazing
Spider-Man is showing off his amazing spider-strength in Japan, where Marvel's Spider-Man has secured its third consecutive week at the top of the software charts.

Third number one for Spidey
To the surprise of absolutely no one, Marvel's Spider-Man is sitting pretty at the top of the UK charts for another week.

We imagine it'll...

God of War performed impressively for Sony earlier in the year, but Marvel’s Spider-Man is on a different level.

News UK Sales Charts: F1 2018 Holds onto Pole Position Ahead of PES 2019
A sporting effort
We're on the precipice of one of the year's busiest months for games, and the UK's weekly physical chart is starting to see some changes.

Well, we're not quite sure how, but Conan Exiles has leapt straight to number 1 in Japan on PlayStation 4.

Sane Trilogy's reign is over; it's...
