News UK Sales Charts: Battlefront 2 Sales Slump 60%, Skyrim VR Outsells Switch Version
Tons of new games chart
Star Wars Battlefront 2 launched with 60 per cent fewer copies than its predecessor at retail in the UK, sales data has confirmed. The previous entry enjoyed the biggest ever debut for a Star Wars game in Britain, although it did have an extra day to rack up that record compared to the new instalment. It’s also worth...
News October 2017 NPD: PS4 Is Still the Best Selling System of the Year
Middle-earth: Shadow of War conquers all
Despite increasingly intense competition, the PlayStation 4 remains the best-selling console in the United States year-to-date – but it’s going to be clinging on by its fingernails as we sprint towards the business end of the year. Nintendo Switch was the top platform once again for the month of October,...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Sonic Forces Completely Flops as Awful New Need for Speed Overtakes
Insult to injury
Well would you look at that, the latest Japanese sales charts actually offer up some interesting talking points. Right off the bat, only one new game made it into the top five, and that was Need for Speed: Payback. The open world arcade racer managed to shift a meagre 21,000 copies on PlayStation 4 despite being butchered by...
News UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty: WWII Records Best Second Week in Two Years
War never changes
Call of Duty: WWII started strong – and it’s held strong. Activision’s first-person shooter has registered the highest selling second week of both 2017 and 2016 in the UK, suggesting that the switch to historical warfare was an astute one from the publisher. Elsewhere, evergreen favourite FIFA 18 leapfrogged Assassin’s...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Call of Duty: WWII Guns Its Way to the Top
.hack also makes its way into top 5
The latest Japanese charts are in, and guess what? Call of Duty: WWII has done pretty well for itself. The very brown and grey shooter has topped the software list with an impressive 168,234 copies on PlayStation 4. The series has always done quite well in Japan, and these numbers further solidify its standing as...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts FIFA 18, Gran Turismo Lead the Way
Front of the pack
There are no upsets in the October 2017 PlayStation Store sales charts, with FIFA 18 pulling away from the pack like Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City [Grumble – Ed] in both Europe and North America. Over in the Old World, the divisive Gran Turismo Sport finished up in second, while it was forced to settle for fifth place in the...
News UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty's Return to WWII Prompts Resurgence
Back in black
Remember how virtually every retail release has been down this year in the UK due to growing digital sales? It hasn’t affected Call of Duty: WWII, which has absolutely smashed predecessor Infinite Warfare’s launch by a whopping 57 per cent. That should put the historical shooter just short of Black Ops III’s first week figures...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Assassin's Creed Origins Climbs into Top 5
PS4 sales remain steady
Unsurprisingly, it's Nintendo that dominates the latest Japanese charts. With Super Mario Odyssey moving nearly half a million copies and the Switch tearing up the hardware list, there's only one PlayStation title really worth talking about: Assassin's Creed Origins. The open world release made the top five in the Land...
News UK Sales Charts: Assassin's Creed Origins Kicks Super Mario Odyssey into the Sand
But sadly Wolfenstein slumps
Assassin’s Creed Origins more or less matched the launch sales of London-based predecessor Syndicate to keep Super Mario Odyssey away from the top of the UK sales charts this week – although it obviously did launch on two platforms with larger install bases. Around 60 per cent of people purchased the Egyptian...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Gran Turismo Sport Speeds Straight to the Top
The Evil Within 2 makes top three
Gran Turismo Sport tore up the UK charts earlier this week, and now it's busy doing a victory lap in Japan. The PlayStation 4 exclusive sped straight to number one in the Land of the Rising Sun, shifting just over 150,000 copies. Not a bad result by any means, but the series continues its decline in its native...
News September 2017 NPD: PS4 Leads Consumer Spend as Destiny 2 Outshoots All
Bungie jump
It’s not particularly trendy to talk about PlayStation 4 hardware sales as it continues its comfortable march to 100 million units, but even though the Nintendo Switch is starting to exert some authority on the NPD, it’s perhaps worth reiterating that Sony’s system is still faring very well as it nears its fourth birthday...
News UK Sales Charts: Gran Turismo Sport Triples Forza 7's Launch
Races ahead of Gran Turismo 6
As expected, Gran Turismo Sport has sped to the simulation sales crown, tripling rival racer Forza Motorsport 7’s launch tally. The anticipated title – which naturally topped the UK charts – enjoyed stronger week one sales than the original entry in the series, and also outperformed late PlayStation 3 arrival Gran...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Shadow of War Somehow Manages to Conquer the Top Spot
Power of the ring?
Well, we're not sure we saw this one coming. Middle-earth: Shadow of War has claimed the top spot of the Japanese hardware charts, despite shifting only 20,000 copies on PlayStation 4. In other words, this has been a really poor week for new releases. Indeed, traditionally styled role-playing game Lost Sphear absolutely...
News UK Sales Charts: The Evil Within 2 Suffers Shocking Launch
Shadow of War can't stop FIFA 18
The Evil Within 2 has sold less than a quarter of its predecessor’s physical launch total, making its commercial performance unquestionably the scariest thing about the survival horror sequel. The game – which we rather liked – will now be banking on Hallowe’en hype to make up the difference. It’s not the...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Dragon's Dogma Lands in Top 10, and That's About It
Not so hot
We hope that you like articles made of nothing, because that's what you're about to get. The latest Japanese sales charts have been released, and there's bugger all happening in the Land of the Rising Sun. Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen entered in seventh place on PlayStation 4, but it only shifted around 12,000 copies. Barely worth a...
News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 18 Tightens Its Grip on Championship Spot
Title challenge
Yeah, very few games would have been able to dethrone FIFA 18 in its second week on the UK sales charts, as it posted numbers that most games would be proud of in their first week on sale. Xbox One exclusive Forza Motorsport 7 was the only title to really threaten the soccer sim’s crown, and it saw its sales dip compared to its...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts Destiny 2 Doesn't Disappoint
But still can't topple FIFA 18 in Europe
With Destiny 2 sales down at retail, Bungie’s sequel needed to put in a big performance on the PlayStation Store – and, well, it topped the PlayStation Store sales charts for North America in September. But in Europe it was toppled by an even bigger brand: FIFA 18 shot straight to the number one in the...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Trails of Cold Steel III and FIFA 18 Lead the Charge on PS4
Variety
The latest Japanese software charts are in, and two PlayStation 4 titles are at the top. The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III entered in first place, selling around 87,000 copies. That's not a bad showing for a sequel in a somewhat niche series. Meanwhile, FIFA 18 sprinted into second, shifting 56,000 copies. Most popular...
News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 18 Bundles Do the Business for PS4
Sony commands 60 per cent of sales
Sony commanded a dizzying 60 per cent of launch FIFA 18 sales after snagging marketing rights to the soccer simulation. Last year it managed 53 per cent, so it’s actually improved its share of the spoils year-over-year. However, it’s worth noting that sales of the footie favourite are actually down 25 per cent...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Has a Disastrous Launch on PS4
Zero hyper combo
After failing to make any kind meaningful impact in the latest UK charts, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite has crashed and burned in Japan, where it barely sold over 8000 copies on PlayStation 4. Historically, the series has never produced a huge hit in the Land of the Rising Sun, but these are still disastrous numbers for the...
News UK Sales Charts: Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Appears to Flop
Hyper combo finished
Count on Capcom to ensure a game starring Spider-Man, Captain America, and Chris Redfield underperforms. Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite launched last week – although you’d be forgiven for forgetting – and entered the UK sales charts in 12th place. It’s a disappointing performance for what is, frankly, a disappointing game...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PES 2018 Shoots to the Top, Uncharted Ventures into Fourth
Kick off
The latest Japanese sales charts are in, with PES 2018: Pro Evolution Soccer wheeling off in celebration after scoring the top software spot. Konami's footie sim shifted close to 80,000 copies across both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Elsewhere, PS4 exclusive Uncharted: The Lost Legacy debuted in fourth place with 23,131 copies. Not a...
News UK Sales Charts: NBA 2K18 Leapfrogs PES 2018 at Launch
Hoopin' mad
This is crazy: basketball simulation NBA 2K18 has charted higher than footie follow-up PES 2018: Pro Evolution Soccer on the UK sales charts. While there’s unlikely to be much difference between the two titles, and Konami’s soccer sequel did much better on the PlayStation 4 than it did on the Xbox One, it’s still an unexpected...
News August 2017 NPD: Uncharted Starts Strong, But PS4 Can't Topple Switch
Not bad for a spin-off
Standalone spin-off Uncharted: The Lost Legacy debuted third in the United States sales charts for August 2017 – an impressive result considering many scored the title for free as part of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End’s season pass. The side-story was beaten by Madden NFL 18 and a resurgent Grand Theft Auto V, though it’s...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Destiny 2 Guns Its Way to Number 1 on PS4
But it's down on the first game
It's been a quiet week for new releases in Japan with one notable exception: Destiny 2. Bungie's sci-fi sequel shot straight to the top of the software charts, shifting 50,263 copies on PlayStation 4. That's not a bad number for the Sony-published Japanese release, but it's worth pointing out that it's down on the...
News UK Sales Charts: Destiny 2 Down Dramatically Compared to First Game
Written in the stars?
Destiny 2’s physical sales are less than half those of its predecessor in the UK – even if it is still the biggest launch of the year thus far. According to leaked numbers which we believe to be accurate, the title sold around 175,000 units in its launch week – a gigantic decline compared to the first game’s tally of...
News Hellblade, Madden NFL 18 Are PlayStation Store's Big Winners in August
Heaven and Hell
Psychological thriller Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice secured an impressive debut on the PlayStation Store, charting top of August’s digital best-sellers list in Europe and second in North America. The mental health masterpiece was beaten only by Madden NFL 18, which understandably touched down in the top spot ahead of the start of...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Everybody's Golf Swings Straight to the Top on PS4
Hole in one
There's only one real story to this week's Japanese charts, and that's the success of Everybody's Golf in its native country. The PlayStation 4 exclusive stormed to the top of the software charts, shifting over 100,000 copies. Not a colossal amount, to be fair, but it's still more than most games manage on their debut. As for Sony's...
News UK Sales Charts: Mario Can't Quite Topple Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
PS4 exclusive enjoys second week at the top
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy has topped the UK sales charts for the second week running. Its victory comes as no real surprise given the quality of the product and its lower price point, but its success marks yet another week where a PlayStation 4 exclusive has come out on top. Reports suggest that new...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Normal PS4 Service Resumes as Dragon Quest Hype Fades
Here we are again
The Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age party is winding down now, with Square Enix's latest role-playing mega hit settling at 22,600 sales on PlayStation 4. As such, we're now looking at another not-so-exciting period when it comes to Sony's console in Japan. Speaking of which, the machine itself has dropped off...
News UK Sales Charts: Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Is the Sixth PS4 Exclusive to Top in 2017
A good year
There’s no question the PlayStation 4 has been absolutely on fire this year, and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is the console’s sixth exclusive to top the charts in 2017. Pub quiz time: can you name the other five? While it always seemed likely that Chloe and Nadine would take the crown, there was competition this time from fellow new...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Back on Top as Switch Numbers Plummet
Dragon Quest continues on
After weeks of settling for second and sometimes third place, the PlayStation 4 is once again at the top of the Japanese hardware charts. Sony's console shifted over 30,000 units across all models, which by itself is a pretty standard number, but it was allowed to reclaim its throne by the Nintendo Switch, which saw its...
News UK Sales Charts: Crash Bandicoot Keeps the Throne Warm for Uncharted
Naughty Dog domination
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy has secured its seventh week at the summit of the UK sales charts, but surely now it's merely keeping the throne warm for Chloe Frazer and co, as Uncharted: The Lost Legacy threatens to steal its place. Honestly, numbers on the British best sellers list are weak right now, with estimates putting...
News July 2017 NPD: Nintendo Switch Stops PS4 Party
But systems were apparently neck and neck
Nintendo managed to put enough Switch stock on American shelves to halt the PlayStation 4’s mini-winning streak, but both systems did well by all accounts. Leaked numbers put the platforms neck and neck, and Sony’s console is actually up year-over-year, which is a surprise. Considering that the device is...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Dragon Quest XI Keeps Slime Time Alive
Square Enix RPG sales strong
It’s another week of Dragon Quest XI domination on the Japanese sales charts, as Square Enix’s role-playing game racked up another 200k units across the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation 4 – the kind of numbers most games would dream of at launch, let alone several weeks later. New releases this time on Sony’s system...

Crash the party
In another quiet week for the UK sales charts, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy has secured its fourth consecutive week at the summit – and its sixth overall.

News Japanese Sales Charts: Dragon Quest XI Breaks 1 Million on PS4, Crash Enters Top 5
PS4 sales also strong
As expected, Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age has broken through the 1 million mark on PlayStation 4 during its second week on the market. The massively popular role-playing release came very close to hitting 1 million after just a few days, but having shifted another 200,798 copies since the last sales...
News UK Sales Charts: Crash Bandicoot Runs Away with Fifth Number One
He's havin' a good time
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy has cruised unchallenged to a fifth week at the top of the UK sales charts, although the retail release schedule is a bit barren right now. Nevertheless, it marks the first time that a PlayStation 4 exclusive has registered five weeks at the summit – and it’s also the secured the most...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Dragon Quest XI Almost Hits 1 Million in Less than a Week on PS4
Return of the king slime
Dragon Quest has done it again in Japan, as the series' latest instalment has absolutely demolished the most recent software charts.

News UK Sales Charts: Crash Bandicoot Can't Be Stopped At This Point
Top of the charts again
Ain’t no one getting in the way of the ‘coot, as Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy has continued its N. Sane sales trajectory with a fourth week at number one in the UK sales charts. To be fair, there’s not much competition for the classic platformer at the moment, but it’s becoming increasingly clear that the remake...

News UK Sales Charts: Crash Bandicoot Paints Over Splatoon 2
Ink-redible
Here’s a bit of a twist: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy actually outsold new release Splatoon 2 in the UK sales charts this week – despite the former being almost a month old. Now the comparison’s not entirely fair because Activision’s remaster is cheaper and on a console with a bigger install base, but it had looked like...
News June 2017 NPD: PS4 Enjoys Best June Since Launch
Tekken 7 tops, Crash Bandicoot hits
The PlayStation 4 may be knee-deep into its fourth year, but it’s showing no signs of slowing – in fact, it’s actually performing better than in previous years.

PS4 and PS4 Pro still top hardware
