Dead Space 3 rockets to top spot in this week's UK charts
Dead Space 3 boldly went where the previous Dead Space had gone before: No. 1 in the UK all-formats charts. We know, shock horror (ho ho ho), but more interesting is that the third main entry in the series scored 26.6 percent less UK launch sales than its predecessor. 65 percent of those sales were ...
Ni no Kuni casts a spell on the UK charts
Hang on, is that a Japanese role-playing game at the top of the UK charts that doesn't have the words 'Final,' 'Fantasy,' or 'Pokémon' in its name? No, that doesn't sound right... Well, pierce me a lantern and call me Mr Drippy, because the PS3-exclusive Ni no Kuni is indeed this week's ...
Freemium isn't free: 25 to 34 year olds spend the most on extra content
The "freemium" business model has infected a wide swath of the gaming universe, from casual Facebook games, to shooters, MMOs and all manner of mobile offerings, and for good reason: These games hemorrhage cash money. That free-flowing river of skrill has to come from somewhere, though, and the ...
Final Fantasy XIII sales plunge in Japan
According to unofficial sales numbers from Japan, Final Fantasy XIII has fallen down to number four on the sales list over there, after a very big million-plus release day and a record-breaking first week. But otaku take heart: even though sales of the game dropped over a million units in the ...
October NPD: Uncharted 2 takes top spot while hardware sales slow down
After the last two months of price drop-fueled sales surges, it's almost comforting to see all these red arrows. Hardware sales are down 17% from last month and down 10% from the year prior, with only the Wii maintaining any upward momentum as we head into the two busiest shopping months of the ...

Wii Sports Resort barely bests Wolfenstein in the UK
We're not sure what's more impressive: That a cricket game was actually outselling Wii Sports Resort for two weeks in the UK, or that Nintendo's latest minigame melange only outsold Wolfenstein by 2,000 copies for the week of August 16 to 22. That's what the latest numbers and report from Chart ...
Nielsen: 360 has most 'active users' in 2009, Wii has fewest
We imagine those six multicolored lines you see above are going to cause quite a stir among the various fanboy contingencies -- they represent the percentage of "active users" on different consoles in the first half of 2009, according to survey data compiled by Nielsen. As you can see, the Xbox ...
Surprise! Final Fantasy VII tops June PSN charts
The top 10 chart for PSN releases in the month of June is now out, and it's quite an interesting list. It's no surprise that Final Fantasy VII is sitting pretty at the top, but we're intrigued to see that Wolfenstein 3D managed to hit the number two spot. Not only that, but it beat out Metal Gear ...
Fight Night Round 4 knocks out its UK chart competitors
So it turns out Fight Night Round 4 is a real hit over in the UK. A real hit. That's a joke. What isn't a joke is that the game is enjoying a second week at the number one spot, despite competition from Tiger Woods Pro Tour 10, which debuted at number 2. We say "competition," but no matter which ...
