News UK Sales Charts: Grand Theft Auto V Hijacks the Top Spot
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. The popular open world affair managed to steal this week's crown from Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare – a truly amazing achievement. Familiar faces FIFA 17 and Battlefield 1 rounded out...
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...
News UK Sales Charts: Ain't No Stopping the Call of Duty
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...
News Sony Reveals The Most Downloaded PS4 Games of 2016
Rocket to the top
As is tradition, Sony has revealed the PlayStation Network's most downloaded games of the last year. Topping the 2016 charts in both North America and Europe was the seemingly eternal Rocket League, which originally launched back in 2015. That's an impressive run of form from the simple but stupidly effective title. Battlefield 1...
News UK Sales Charts: Infinite Success for Call of Duty on PS4
Price cuts do the business
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has spent practically the entirety of the Christmas period at the top of the UK sales charts. Activision may have needed to slash the price of its latest first-person shooter as low as £19.99 across the country, but it's done the trick, as the title managed to top the British best sellers...
News UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Clings On
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? To be fair, the game has been on sale for £19.99 at some stores, which is unprecedented for this...
News Japanese Sales Charts: 3DS Software Rules the Roost While PS4 Hardware Holds
Yakuza 6 and Final Fantasy XV still in Top Ten
With the big PlayStation 4 releases all out, there was a chance that Sony's system may sag, but it registered a decent hold in this week's Media Create report. The bog-standard box shifted some 70,031 units for the week, while the PS4 Pro added another 9,317 units on top – not enough to displace the...
News UK Sales Charts: Activision Answers the Christmas Call of Duty
CoD on top
Despite disappointing sales, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has waltzed away with the UK Christmas number one for the… Well, seventh time in the series' history. The shooter, which has seen a slew of heavy discounts, saw off FIFA 17, which finished up in second. Meanwhile, Battlefield 1 wrapped up in third place, while Watch Dogs 2...
News November 2016 NPD: PS4 on Top as Call of Duty Targets Number One
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. The console – which was buoyed by its best Black Friday ever and the launch of the PS4 Pro – has now surpassed 50 million units globally, and is on track to bloat that figure further through the all-important...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Yakuza 6, The Last Guardian Maintain Strong PS4 Sales
Final Fantasy drops as Kazuma tops
It's been a decent period for the PlayStation 4 in its home nation, and that continued this week with the release of Yakuza 6 and The Last Guardian. The long-awaited latter title actually did unexpectedly well, shifting some 82,260 units – a not exactly awe-inspiring sum, but much better than we anticipated...
News UK Sales Charts: The Last Guardian Outpaces ICO and Shadow of the Colossus
But can't beat Dead Rising 4
The Last Guardian hasn't exactly torn the UK sales charts to shreds, but it's done reasonably in its first week on sale, outpacing predecessors ICO and Shadow of the Colossus on its debut. The long-awaited title from Team ICO entered the British best sellers list in seventh position – a couple of places behind timed...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Final Fantasy XV Takes a Trip to the Top as PS4 Numbers Rocket
The boys are back
Here it is, folks - the day of reckoning is upon us. For months we've been meditating on Final Fantasy XV and the impact that it may have on the Japanese console scene - but now it's finally time to see how the blockbuster has performed over in the East. Unsurprisingly, Final Fantasy XV stormed to the top of the software charts,...
News UK Sales Charts: Final Fantasy XV Fails to Dethrone FIFA 17
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 Japanese Sales Charts: PS4, PS4 Pro Hold Steady as Gundam Chases Pokémon
The G generation
The new Pokémon games dominated the Japanese charts last time around, and unsurprisingly, they're at it again. Nothing's going to stop Nintendo's juggernaut for at least another week or so, but the latest Gundam title at least boosted into view with some relatively strong opening numbers on both Vita and PlayStation 4. And before...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Pokémon Rules the Sun and Moon
And, honestly, the stars right now as well
As expected, Pokémon has attacked the Japanese sales charts with all the force of several suns and moons combined. The game sold over 1.5 million copies in the Land of the Rising Sun, and helped seriously propel Nintendo 3DS sales as a result. This means that the PlayStation 4 slipped down the hardware...
News UK Sales Charts: Ubisoft Will Be Hacked Off with Watch Dogs 2's Performance
Series sees massive decline
Are you noticing a trend yet? Watch Dogs 2 is the latest high-profile sequel this holiday to fall significantly short of expectations, with its predecessor selling several times more units than the new arrival. Chart-Track does not publish sales figures, but Ubisoft's latest charted below Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare,...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Pro Launch Provides a Huge Boost for PS4
Gone Pro
It would seem that Japan has taken to the recently released PS4 Pro rather well, as sales of Sony's system saw a significant boost last week. PlayStation 4 numbers rocketed by around 60,000 units, hitting a total of 92,344 sales, which is a very similar increase to the jump that we saw when the PS4 Slim arrived on store shelves several...
News UK Sales Charts: Dishonored 2 Launch Sales Fall Short of Predecessor
Blink and you'll miss it
A worrying pattern is emerging this holiday: Dishonored 2 is the latest UK launch to fall short of its predecessor's sales – and we'll be shocked if Watch Dogs 2 isn't next. Bethesda's stealth opus sold 38 per cent copies fewer than the original back in 2012 – and that's despite it being a much more established brand...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Rockets to the Top on PS4
Dragon Ball XenoVerse powers up in second
Call of Duty isn't just a sales juggernaut here in the West; the series has been selling reasonably well for years in Japan, and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is looking to continue that trend. Activision's latest blockbuster entered the most recent Japanese software charts in first place, selling through...
News UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Registers Near 50 Per Cent Launch Decline
Crash landing
First, the good news for Activision shareholders: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has comfortably secured the second biggest UK launch of the year, falling just short of the week one numbers for FIFA 17. And now the bad news: the game has registered a 48.4 per cent decline compared to its predecessor, Call of Duty: Black Ops III. It's...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Sword Art Online Cuts Through World of Final Fantasy on PS4
Berserk, Titanfall 2, and Mafia III also arrive
The latest Japanese charts are in, and they make for relatively interesting reading thanks to an influx of new releases on Sony platforms. To start things off, Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization did pretty well for itself in first place, shifting a respectable 70,871 copies on PlayStation 4. The...
News UK Sales Charts: Titanfall 2 Fails to Make an Impact on PS4
FPS flops
Despite being billed as one of the best shooter campaigns in years, Titanfall 2 has struggled to make an impact on the UK sales charts – even with the franchise making its PlayStation 4 debut. Early estimates show that the title struggled to sell half of what the original managed on the Xbox One alone, though the tracking period does...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Battlefield 1 Blasts into First Place on PS4
Sony's console still on top
Battlefield 1's debut is the big talking point of the latest Japanese sales charts, with EA's World War shooter claiming the top spot of the software list. The historical foray sold through a relatively impressive 113,081 copies on PlayStation 4. Aside from NBA 2K17 entering in sixth, though, it's been another quiet week...
News UK Sales Charts: Battlefield 1 Beats Out Combined Week One Sales of Predecessors
Battlefield won
Battlefield 1 launched strongly in the UK, outselling the combined week one tally of both Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline. While this is impressive, it's perhaps worth remembering that Battlefield 4's sales got off to a slightly slower start than usual due to it launching prior to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Nevertheless,...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Tomb Raider Leaps into the Top 5 as PS4 Stays Strong
Only one VR title makes it into top 20
Rise of the Tomb Raider jumped straight into the top five of the latest Japanese software charts on PlayStation 4, selling through 21,152 copies in second place. Not a huge amount, but it's really the only new PlayStation entry worth talking about. Well, aside from PlayStation VR Worlds, which sold through just...
News UK Sales Charts: PlayStation VR Titles Attack Top 40
FIFA 17 still top of the league, though
A whopping eight PlayStation VR games entered the UK sales charts this week, with PlayStation VR Worlds placing the highest in seventh position. Until Dawn: Rush of Blood finished ninth, while RIGS: Mechanized Combat League, EVE: Valkyrie, and DriveClub VR finished in 12th, 20th, and 23rd place respectively...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Enjoys Another Week at the Top
Holding steady
Unless you really like Monster Hunter spin-offs, there's not really much to talk about when it comes to the latest Japanese sales charts. Capcom's new Nintendo 3DS title unsurprisingly topped the software list, while the only fresh PlayStation release to make the top 20 was BlazBlue: Central Fiction. The stylish fighting game sequel...
News UK Sales Charts: Mafia III Crushes Predecessor's Sales Record Like Candy
An offer you couldn't refuse
Perhaps the Vinnie Jones promotion paid off after all, as Mafia III has soared to near the top of the UK sales charts, registering a 58.7 per cent improvement over its predecessor. Unsurprisingly with that kind of stat, the open world crime title secured the biggest launch week in the series' history thus far – and...
News Japanese Sales Charts: FIFA 17 Tops the Software Table on PS4
Through on goal
FIFA 17 had a sort-of-decent opening week in Japan, selling through 57,012 copies on PlayStation 4 and topping the software charts. For the sake of comparing, PES 2017: Pro Evolution Soccer currently sits at 90,575 copies on Sony's current-gen console, so with a few more weeks under its belt, EA's latest entry could end up matching...
News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 17 Runs Away with the League in October
Champione! Champione!
Manchester City may not have been able to solidify their early season dominance last week, dropping points against Celtic in the Champions League and losing to Tottenham in the Premier League – but FIFA 17 has managed what Pep Guardiola couldn't. The soccer sim, despite being considered inferior to this year's PES 2017: Pro...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Tops Hardware as Lifetime Numbers Pass Wii U
Up and over
Following the PlayStation 4's emphatic return to the top of the charts thanks to the introduction of the new Slim model, Sony's current-gen console hit another milestone last week when it surpassed the Wii U's lifetime sales in Japan. To date, Nintendo's console has shifted 3,265,329 units, while the PS4 has now sold through 3,267,243...
News UK Sales Charts: BioShock: The Collection Is Still the Big Daddy
Ayn achievement
A lack of new releases mean that BioShock: The Collection maintained its place at the summit of the UK sales charts this week, fending off PES 2017: Pro Evolution Soccer for a second term. Destiny: The Collection was the only new entry in fourth, with most fans of that series locked into the PlayStation Store these days. Overwatch...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Skyrocket Thanks to Slim Release and Persona 5
That's more like it
Remember last week when we speculated that the PlayStation 4 would probably jump back to around the 20,000 mark and continue to stay there? Well, it turns out that we underestimated the Power of PlayStation, as it were. With the help of the newly released Slim model, sales of Sony's current-gen console absolutely skyrocketed,...
News UK Sales Charts: BioShock: The Collection Gets Wet at the Summit
Splicer to see you, to see you Splicer
2K Games asked you to kindly purchase BioShock: The Collection on the PlayStation 4, and you responded diligently, with the title topping the all-formats charts in the UK this week. The critically acclaimed PES 2017: Pro Evolution Soccer kicked off in second, and scored over 70 per cent of its sales on Sony's...
News August 2016 NPD: Madden NFL 17, No Man's Sky Top Software Charts
Hello, games
Oh look, it's the NPD report. You may have noticed that we skipped coverage of this over the past couple of months. Apologies for that, but the NPD has changed the way it makes this information available. We used to get platform ordering for software sales and all sorts of other intel, but that can only be accessed by paying members...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Hits Rock Bottom as Slim Approaches
One more time
The PlayStation 4 Slim launches tomorrow in Japan alongside Persona 5, meaning that regular PlayStation 4 sales have fallen off a cliff. The current-gen console managed to shift just 560 units last week, with the PlayStation 3 actually selling more than double that. All eyes are now on next Wednesday's charts, as they'll feature the...
News UK Sales Charts: Overwatch Is Still Unbeatable as Uncharted Stretches Its Legs
Tracer on top
Sony must be really, really satisfied with Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. The game's been a constant in the UK top ten since its release, and it's remained in seventh this week. No Man's Sky, another first-party game, is also doing incredibly well for itself – despite the poor word of mouth. It's finished up in eighth this week. But...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Flatlines as Slim Model Nears
The Witcher 3's back, though
As you'd expect, PlayStation 4 sales are plummeting in Japan ahead of the Slim's imminent arrival. Sony's system sold through just 1828 units last week as the standard PS4 model is slowly phased out to make room for its sleeker sibling. Meanwhile, on the software side of things, there's no really too much to see. The...
News UK Sales Charts: Overwatch Gets Play of the Game as It Jumps Back to Number 1
Uncharted 4 swings back into top 5, too
It's largely a case of the usual suspects when it comes to the latest UK software charts, with Overwatch reclaiming the top spot for the fourth time in its life thanks to a recent price drop. According to Chart-Track - who compiles these charts - Overwatch has now spent more weeks at number one than any other...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Software Disappoints Across the Board
Better, but not by much
You wait weeks for a steady stream of PlayStation 4 titles to release in Japan, and then four come along at once. That's good news, right? Well, it's obviously better than nothing, but when we actually take a step back and look at these latest software numbers, we find ourselves struggling to pick out any real positives. No...
News UK Sales Charts: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Hacks Top, But Sales Softer Than Human Revolution
Rusty
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided tapped its way straight to the top of the UK sales charts, but its predecessor Human Revolution enjoyed a "much stronger" first week. That's according to Chart-Track, who compiles the British best sellers list. As expected, the game performed best on the PlayStation 4, which is a very common occurrence for multiformat...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Tales of Berseria Plunders the Top Spot on PS4
Another tale to tell
Well would you look at that, a reasonably important PlayStation 4 release has made it to the top of the Japanese software charts - and it's about bloody time. Bandai Namco's Tales of Berseria entered the charts with sales of 173,537 copies on Sony's current-gen console and 76,186 copies on PS3. At first glance, those figures...
News UK Sales Charts: F1 2016 Overtakes No Man's Sky to Take Pole
Va va vroom
Whoops, we forgot about the UK sales charts! That's probably an indication of just how uninteresting they've been for some time now, but we should probably cover them anyway. F1 2016 has raced into an early lead, overtaking No Man's Sky to take pole position this week. LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens squeezed a place on the podium...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Ratchet & Clank Stumbles into Top 5 on PS4
Lombax in action
There's only one real talking point when it comes to the latest Japanese sales charts: PlayStation 4 exclusive Ratchet & Clank entered in third place, selling through a kind-of-okay 27,534 copies. Funnily enough, the superb looking action-platformer was the only new title to to make it into the top 20. On the hardware side of...
News UK Sales Charts: No Man's Sky Is Sony's Second Biggest PS4 Launch Ever
Sky's the limit
Wait, what? No Man's Sky has become Sony's second biggest PlayStation 4 launch of all time, with only Uncharted 4: A Thief's End performing better during its first week in Britain. The game outsold Bloodborne to become the fastest selling new intellectual property published by the platform holder, and was fifth on the list of new IP...
News Narrow Margins Force PS4 from Top of US Hardware Charts for First Time in 2016
You win some, you lose some
Outrageously attractive Xbox One fire sales pushed the PlayStation 4 from the top of the US hardware charts for the first time in eight months last month – although speculation suggests that Sony's system was just 10,000 units off the pace. Microsoft's console was widely available for considerably less than the Japanese...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Drop as New Dynasty Warriors Game Bombs
Please save us, Persona 5
Dear oh dear, the latest Japanese sales charts don't make for particularly pleasant reading for PlayStation enthusiasts. For the first time in months, PS4 numbers dropped below the 20,000 mark, with Sony's current-gen console selling through just 16,469 units. Simply put, the likes of Persona 5 and Final Fantasy XV can't...
News UK Sales Charts: Grand Theft Auto V Assumes the Throne
Franklin amazing
A sign of how slow the UK games industry is this summer: Grand Theft Auto V has reassumed its position at the top of the charts for the first time since March 2015. The game's been in the list for 150 weeks now, and this is its ninth number one. It was, however, a close-run contest between Rockstar's open world adventure and...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Toukiden 2 Slays Its Way Into Top 5 on PS4, Vita
Demon hunting sequel has a decent start
Would you believe it - we've actually got something worth writing about when it comes to the latest Japanese sales charts. Toukiden 2 entered the software charts in fourth and fifth place on Vita and PlayStation 4 respectively, but neither version sold especially well, racking up around 100,000 units between...
