PC Sales Charts, From The Land Of The Boxed Copies

While the NPD Group has ceased providing weekly sales charts for the boxed-copy PC market in the US, it still hands out its monthly – and often hilarious – lists. Let’s look at February’s.


PC Sales Charts: Bringin’ Out The Big Guns

It’s not until you look at these charts that you realise that PC has been having a big couple of months.


British Sales Charts: Torrential Downpour

I’ve got to hand it to Heavy Rain. Or Sony’s marketing team. Although I thought the game was pretty good, I also thought it would be a tough sell to Average Joe. Guess not, since it’s gone #1 in the UK.


British Sales Charts: Darling It’s Better, Down Where It’s Wetter…

Perhaps because it features environments that are wet, rather than covered in ice, Britons flocked last week to stores to get hold of BioShock 2, which has promptly knocked Just Dance from the nation’s video gaming pedestal.


PC Sales Charts: Probing Uranus

Space and laser guns feature prominently in this week’s PC sales charts, last week’s consumers opting for aliens and bright-coloured uniforms over olive-grey outfits and the real world.


Aussie Charts: Mass Effect 2 Triumphant

Wii, Wii, Wii, Wii… Oh! Lookie here! This week the #1 spot goes to an Xbox 360 title! Yep, Mass Effect 2 tops the Australian charts. The rest is not unlike your usual expectations. Wii, Wii, Wii, Wii…


British Sales Charts: Dante’s Disco Inferno

Just Dance ahead of Mass Effect 2? Sort it out, Britain. I don’t care if you have to hit the streets shouting, placards in hand, you sort this out.


Meet The Biggest-Selling Games In The World For 2009

Collaborating like they do in times of great need, market research companies The NPD Group (North America), GfK Chart-Track (PAL) and Enterbrain (Japan) have combined to bring us the five best-selling games in the “world” for 2009.


PC Sales Charts: Return Of The Living Psychonauts

The PC charts were last week dominated by the likes of Mass Effect 2, Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Star Trek Online. No surprises there. So we’ll instead focus our admiration on Tim Schafer’s Psychonauts instead.


British Sales Charts: Let’s Mass Effect

Just Dance’s reign of terror has finally come to an end, BioWare’s Mass Effect 2 cruising straight into the top spot on the British charts.
