News Japanese Sales Charts: Uncharted 4 Holds on to the Top Spot for Second Week Running
Drake's moderate fortune
Anyone who's played an Uncharted game will know of Nathan Drake's insane ability to grip even the smallest environmental outcrop, but rather than hanging on for dear life, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is actually enjoying its time at the top of the Japanese software charts for the second week in a row. The PlayStation 4...
News UK Sales Charts: Uncharted 4 Clings on to Top Spot
Gold
Sony's enjoying a real strong spell at the top of the UK sales charts, as Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is the latest title from the publisher to enjoy successive weeks at the summit. Sales for Nate Drake's latest did drop sharply after its record breaking launch, meaning that DOOM was clipping at its heels – but Naughty Dog's outstanding...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Uncharted 4 Climbs Above the Competition
PS4 sticks to the top, too
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has enjoyed reasonably healthy opening sales in Japan, claiming the top spot on the software charts and selling through 128,725 copies. While not a huge amount, it's a good start for the PlayStation 4 exclusive, and we'd wager that it'll stick around in the top 20 for a couple of weeks at least...
News UK Sales Charts: Uncharted 4 Smashes Predecessor's Sales on PS4
Draking it in
With some inevitability, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End has become the fastest selling entry in Naughty Dog's popular action adventure series to date in the UK, with sales of the PlayStation 4 exclusive bettering those of PlayStation 3 predecessor Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception by 66 per cent. That puts the game in a very handsome...
News April 2016 NPD: Dark Souls III, Ratchet & Clank, MLB 16 The Show Up Top for PS4
Update: PS4 was best selling console
Sony slumped to a shock defeat in April 2015's unexpected NPD sales report, but this year all three major console manufacturers have declined to comment on hardware numbers. Whatever the reason for that, the manufacturer can take heart from some pretty outstanding software performers – including Ratchet &...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Still Top Despite a Total Lack of New Games
Zzzzzzz
It's been a boring few weeks for the Japanese hardware and software charts, and we're afraid that there's no excitement to be found this time around, either. PlayStation 4 sales dropped by about 4000 units, but Sony's latest system still managed to stick to the top spot - that is, if you don't count New 3DS and New 3DS LL numbers as one...
News UK Sales Charts: Battleborn Reaches Number One, But...
Ratchet & Clank still best selling individual game
We're not entirely sure how, but Battleborn has managed to top the UK sales charts. There is a big "but" that simply must follow this sentence, however, as Ratchet & Clank was still the best-selling game of the week in terms of individual units. What does this mean, then? Basically, the only...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Still Number One After a Slow Few Weeks
King of the hill
The gaming market's been relatively quiet in Japan over the last few weeks as far as PlayStation goes, but despite a lack of new, blockbuster software, Sony's latest machine has remained at the top of the hardware charts - and that was the case again last week. The only new PS4 title worth mentioning is Konami's fun looking baseball...
News UK Sales Charts: Ratchet & Clank Stays Top for a Second Week
Crank it up
There ain't no budging Ratchet & Clank from the summit of the UK sales charts, as it's scored a second successive week at the top following its first ever number one last time. The game's sales only dipped by 50 per cent compared to its launch week, which is really rather impressive – games tend to drop off in sales quickly...
News Japanese Sales Charts: One Piece: Burning Blood Blows Away the Competition on PS4, Vita
Hoist the sales
One Piece: Burning Blood leapt to the top of the Japanese software charts last week, claiming the first and second spots on PlayStation 4 and Vita respectively. The Bandai Namco brawler only sold marginally better on Sony's home console, though, with total sales across both platforms breaking 68,000 copies. It's not a bad start by...
News UK Sales Charts: Ratchet & Clank Secures Series First Number One
Up your arsenal, everyone
Ratchet & Clank has got off to an interstellar start in the UK sales charts, securing the series' first ever number one by outselling Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time by a factor of three. The colourful platformer has been hovering around the British best sellers list for almost 15 years, but Insomniac Games'...
News Japanese Sales Charts: All's Quiet on the Eastern Front
PS4 stays top, though
It's been another quiet week in Japan for PlayStation and the market in general, as a dearth of new blockbuster releases ensured that the software charts looked particularly dismal. The PlayStation 4 saw three fresh entries in Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition, République, and Skullgirls 2nd Encore, but none of them...
News UK Sales Charts: Dark Souls III Dominates on PS4
Over 70 per cent of copies sold on Sony's system
It's no surprise given the series' history, but Dark Souls III absolutely dominated on the PlayStation 4 during launch week. Bandai Namco's hotly anticipated sequel – which topped the UK sales charts, outpacing Dark Souls II's debut by 61 per cent – moved 71 per cent of its units on Sony's new-gen...
News March 2016 NPD: Sony Scores Hat-Trick as The Division Propels PS4 to Third Win of the Year
"Thank you to our fans"
Sony won its third NPD report of the year, as the PlayStation 4 was the best-selling console in the United States for the month of March. Despite this, hardware sales actually declined by 19 per cent year-over-year, due to the lower prices of consoles across the board. Fortunately, an 8 per cent increase in software revenue...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Far Cry Primal Features in Tame Week
Not so wild
Yes! Your humble host has managed to wrestle this week's Japanese sales charts from associate editor Robert Ramsey's iron clasp for the first time in years; unfortunately, it's a rubbish one. Far Cry Primal was the highest charting new game for the week ending 10th April, moving 25,302 units on the PlayStation 4. The other big story is...
News UK Sales Charts: DiRT Rally Prompts Photo Finish with Quantum Break
Less than a nose in it
It was practically even-stevens between DiRT Rally and Quantum Break in this week's UK sales charts, as the Remedy developed Xbox One exclusive outsold Codemasters' rally return-to-form by just 139 units. It's worth remembering, of course, that the racer released on multiple platforms, while Jack Joyce's debut did not. Still,...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Star Ocean 5 Blasts Off as PS4 Stays Strong
Star charted
Star Ocean 5: Integrity and Faithlessness has enjoyed a decent opening in Japan on PlayStation 4. Square Enix's action role-playing game entered the software charts in second place, selling through a reasonably respectable 113,022 copies. The PlayStation 3 version isn't due out until later this month, so it'll be interesting to see how...
News UK Sales Charts: The Division, Far Cry Primal Put Ubi on Top
Ubiquitous software
Ubisoft is on fire, isn't it? The French publisher tends to quietly go about its business these days, smashing records and releasing games that refuse to be removed from the UK sales charts. Take this week's top ten: The Division is in first for a fourth consecutive week, but Far Cry Primal has quietly climbed into second as...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Dark Souls III Does Massive Damage as PS4 Comes Out on Top
Anything but dead
The latest Japanese software charts are in, and Dark Souls III has done incredibly well for itself. The action role-playing game, which isn't officially out here in the West until next month, sold through a very impressive 210,141 copies. That's a fantastic start for From Software's latest adventure, but despite shifting so many...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Digimon Battles it Out with Pokémon at the Top
Welcome to the 90s
Being a single format site, you'll never see news purely related to the likes of Nintendo on Push Square, but that doesn't mean we can't look at the latest Japanese software charts and smile. Battling it out for the top spot this time around are Pokken Tournament and Digimon World: Next Order, automatically casting our minds back...
News UK Sales Charts: The Division Causes UFC 2 to Submit
Twisted its arm
The Division is very much the flavour of the month, so it's no surprise to see it fend off EA Sports UFC 2 in the latest UK sales chart, which finished in second. The sequel bettered sales of its predecessor by 53 per cent, but that wasn't anywhere near enough to overcome Ubisoft's looter shooter. Further down, Call of Duty: Black...
News Japanese Sales Charts: The Division Puts a Bullet in the Competition on PS4
Critical hit
Tom Clancy's The Division has started life impressively well in Japan, topping the software charts on PlayStation 4. Ubisoft's role-playing shooter hybrid sold through a very healthy 80,703 copies, which was more than enough to place it above the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. Elsewhere, the new Summon Night game...
News UK Sales Charts: The Division Breaks Records and Sells Best on PS4
Nothing divisive about this
Ubisoft has ended up with two games at the top of the latest UK software charts, with Tom Clancy's The Division and Far Cry Primal leading the pack. The former has actually broken Gran Turismo 4's record for having the biggest ever Quarter 1 launch in the UK, which has been in place since 2005. Overall, though, The...
News February 2016 NPD: PS4 Extends Its Lead as US Sales Shrink
Sony's system up year-over-year yet again
We suppose that these NPD reports are starting to get a little bittersweet. As has been the case since launch, the PlayStation 4 is really thriving in the United States, and it's once again managed to register yet another consecutive month of growth. But while the graphs at Sony keep pointing upwards, the...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Gundam Breaks into the Top Spot as PS4 and Vita Lead the Way
Meching up the numbers
Ah, nothing like a good Gundam game to shake up the Japanese hardware and software charts, eh? Gundam Breaker 3 blasted into first and second place on PlayStation 4 and Vita respectively, selling through a reasonably impressive 141,219 copies in total - now we just need to hope that the mech-'em-up has found enough success to...
News UK Sales Charts: Heavy Rain, Beyond PS4 Chart as Far Cry Primal Stays Strong
Knack's back
Far Cry Primal stayed top of the club in this week's UK sales charts, fending off strong competition from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. Evergreen action game Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 slipped down into third, while favourites Call of Duty: Black Ops III and FIFA 16 rounded out the top ten. There was
News Street Fighter V Seems to Have Flopped Pretty Freakin' Hard
Knock out
Street Fighter V got off to a shoddy start in the UK sales charts, and did similarly sucky in its home nation of Japan. However, we'd secretly been hoping that it would find its feet on the PlayStation Store, but that doesn't appear to be the case. In fact, the mechanically m
News Japanese Sales Charts: Unimpressive Software Numbers Can't Stop PS4
Sony sticks to the top
There's not really too much to say about the latest Japanese hardware and software charts, but we'll be damned if we're going to miss out on this weekly article. Starting on the software side of things, the top 20 was bombarded by the new Kamen Rider game, which is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Vita, but...
News UK Sales Charts: Far Cry Primal Shows Its Teeth to Plants vs. Zombies
All change, please
This week's UK sales chart is a little bit different, much to the relief of every single one of you who reads these articles. Far Cry Primal has roared its way to the top of the club, etching its name in the number one slot like a hasty cave painting. It bettered Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, which entered in second...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Street Fighter V Falls Short on PS4
Not quite a knockout
We're afraid that it's yet more disappointing news for Street Fighter V, as its opening Japanese sales figures are in. We already know that the brawler hasn't done especially well here in the UK, and it turns out that it hasn't quite set Japan alight, either. Capcom's latest sold through 41,990 copies on PlayStation 4, which...
News UK Sales Charts: Street Fighter V Cowers to the Power of Street Fighter IV
Maybe it should reconsider its fist?
Street Fighter V hasn't got off to a great start in the UK sales charts, failing to KO Street Fighter IV's week one sales record all the way back in 2009. While some will see this as a sharp decline, it's perhaps worth remembering that the game did only release on one system, and will have seen a much larger...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Valkyria Chronicles Remastered Rolls into the Charts on PS4
Tanks very much
Last week was pretty quiet for new releases in the Land of the Rising Sun, with the likes of Dragon Quest Builders and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 still hanging around in the software top ten. There was one new PlayStation entry worthy of note, however: Valkyria Chronicles Remastered. The remastered edition of the PS3...
News UK Sales Charts: Killzone Re-Enters as Call of Duty Holds
Shadow fall
There's very little to see in the UK sales charts this week, as Call of Duty: Black Ops III earned its tenth top spot since launch. The title is on sale on the PlayStation 4 right now, so is enjoying something of a second wind. It'll be interesting to see whether Street Fighter V can overcome it, but we're expecting the Capcom brawler to...
News Microsoft's Minecraft Rules the PlayStation Store Charts
The Witness off to a reasonable start
At this point, we have a feeling that practically everyone on the planet owns Minecraft two times over. The bricklaying blockbuster, which is a permanent fixture in the retail space as well, has dominated the PlayStation Store charts for January, finishing in first on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 in North...
News January 2016 NPD: PS4 Secures First Victory of the Year with 'Impressive' Growth
Start as you mean to go on
Sony's started 2016 much in the same way as it finished the previous year: with an NPD victory. The industry intelligence group tracks retail sales in the United States, and have declared the PlayStation 4 the best-selling system throughout the month of January. This, obviously, doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Naruto Storms to the Top Alongside PS4
Dragon Quest Builders also staying strong
The PlayStation 4 has had another reasonably solid week in Japan, with Sony's latest console shifting 31,158 units - enough to ensure its place at the top of the charts. Sales did see a slight decline compared to the week prior, but that's to be expected seeing as juggernaut release Dragon Quest Builders...
News UK Sales Charts: Naruto Shippuden Soars as Gravity Rush Stumbles
Kat ninja
It's a fairly pleasant UK sales chart for fans of Japanese games this week: Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 burst its way into third position, proving that Robert Ramsey isn't the only person on the planet that cares for these games. Call of Duty: Black Ops III and LEGO Marvel's Avengers finished ahead of the anime brawler, while...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Dragon Quest Builders Demolishes the Competition on PS4, Vita
Dragon Quest does it again
We've always known that Dragon Quest Builders would be a huge deal in its native Japan. Anything to do with Square Enix's now legendary role-playing series tends to sell ridiculously well in the Land of the Rising Sun, and this latest spin-off is no different. The Vita version of the title topped the software charts,...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Yakuza: Kiwami Goes on a Rampage at the Top
The dragon's back in town
The Yakuza franchise has always been huge in its native Japan, so it's no real surprise to find that Yakuza: Kiwami - a remake of the PlayStation 2 original - has smashed its way right to the top of the software charts. The re-imagining of Kazuma Kiryu's initial adventure racked up sales of 103,256 copies on PlayStation 4,...
News UK Sales Charts: Resident Evil, Life Is Strange Mix Things Up
Rising S.T.A.R.S.
Praise the gaming gods: there's change in this week's UK sales charts. Don't get too excited, mind – there's not that much for us to write about. But while Call of Duty: Black Ops III clings onto its crown, Resident Evil Origins Collection and Life Is Strange have infiltrated the UK top ten. The former compiles Resident Evil and...
News Sony Reveals the PlayStation Store's Best Sellers For 2015
Go big or go home
There aren't too many surprises to be found in the PlayStation Store's list of best sellers for 2015, but hey, everyone likes a look at what's been hot over the last 12 months. In Europe, Destiny: The Taken King took the crown as the most downloaded PlayStation 4 title, beating out the likes of Call of Duty: Black Ops III - which...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Odin Sphere Claims the Top Spots on PS4 and Vita
Sphere of influence
Atlus should be reasonably happy with Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir's initial performance in Japan, as the gorgeous action role-playing game took first and second place on the software charts. The Vita version climbed highest, selling through 43,394 copies, while the PlayStation 4 release barely missed out on the top spot, selling...
News UK Sales Charts: Grand Theft Auto V Keeps Truckin'
Rockstar's release up to second as Call of Duty tops
Grand Theft Auto V is an unstoppable juggernaut. The game, which first launched over two years ago, has climbed to second in this week's UK sales charts, proving that there ain't any stopping Rockstar's train. Call of Duty: Black Ops III continued its dominance in first position, while FIFA 16,...
News Third-Parties Nudge Exclusives Out of USA's 2015 Best Sellers List
Black Ops III the best-selling game of the year
Not a single exclusive made the NPD's best-selling games of 2015 list, proving once again that third-parties rule supreme right now. Video game sales totalled $13.1 billion in the United States for the year overall, exactly the same as in 2014. This ultimately means that, while new-gen hardware is on...
News December 2015 NPD: Sony Thanks Fans for Putting PS4 on Top Again
USA's preferred platform in 2015
In what's becoming an all too familiar tale, the PlayStation 4 has topped the NPD hardware charts yet again. Sony's system was on top in the United States for the month of December, completing a clean sweep for the all-important Christmas period. This means that the Xbox One only managed to triumph over the Japanese...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Slips Following Decent Holiday Sales
Sales, sales never change
As expected, PlayStation 4 numbers have taken a tumble now that the holiday season is over, with sales falling back to a rather standard 36,559 units for last week. Still, we suppose it could be worse, as there's currently a real lack of new software releases in Japan. Speaking of which, it's nice to see Fallout 4 hanging...
News UK Sales Charts: Best Sellers, Best Sellers Never Change
Zzz
Nothing to see here, folks. The UK sales charts have barely changed for nearing a month now, and that remains true this week, with Call of Duty: Black Ops III on top yet again. FIFA 16 managed to bump Star Wars Battlefront down into third, while Grand Theft Auto V overtook Fallout 4 in fourth. The only real surprise this time is that Battlefield...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 and Vita Continue Strong Seasonal Performance
Brothers in arms
The latest sales charts from the East are in, confirming that the last seven days have once again been pretty darn solid for the Japanese market. As expected of the season, hardware figures continued to enjoy a healthy boost, as PlayStation 4 sales increased to 65,427 units, while Vita managed a very respectable 63,811 units...
News UK Sales Charts: Ain't No Beating Call of Duty: Black Ops III
Back in black
Call of Duty has become such a strange series. Much like FIFA, it feels like – review time aside – the franchise barely gets any coverage on mainstream websites, and yet year after year it dominates the sales charts. Perhaps it spotlights the contrast between so-called "hardcore gamers" and more casual players – but whatever the...
News UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty Clings on to Christmas Crown
BlOps-ing Day
While it's true that Call of Duty doesn't sell quite as well as it used to, it's still a much stronger brand than virtually all of its peers. Having secured the Christmas crown last week, Black Ops III has once again topped the UK sales charts, having increased its numbers by a whopping 40 per cent. As expected, the PS4 version sold...
