Unfortunately I haven’t seen anything official coming out of of the console manufacturers yet but I have always trusted VGChartz and they are yet to let me down so let’s see what they have to say. According to them the biggest winner this holiday season has once again been the Nintendo Wii but I don’t think anyone doubted that. For …

Take-Two has released it’s quarterly financial results and there are some surprising statistics inside. First off Take-Two generated $1.5 billion in revenue in the last financial quarter which resulted in a net revenue of $97.1 million and that is where I got lost. I know the difference between revenue and profit but I get lost when looking at revenue and …

The November NPD sales stats are in and it’s not good news for Sony.  For clarification NPD is the company that tracks the American console sales and November is always the second most important month of the year in regards to console sales figures… So how did it go for everyone?

The latest sales charts in from the UK have some interesting stories to tell. Call of Duty 5 is proving that the public doesn't really care who is developing the game and whether or not it is based in World War 2 again. The game appeals to many people and is accessible enough that a lot of consumers are all too happy to pick it up and give it a go. In the same vein, I am not too happy about the fact the Need for Speed: Undercover is sitting in second place. The fact that the game is still getting good sales is only going to let EA know more than ever that they can take huge shortcuts and make a really low quality game and still get away with massive sales due to a recognisable brand. What is really interesting is that Resistance 2, the supposedly almighty PS3 exclusive is only sitting at number 10. Why is that? Well, I was actually very interested to find out that Resistance 2 had only been on sale for a day when the chart was released, which means that the day one sales were probably looking pretty strong. It seems that the UK is also experiencing distribution issues so that may factor into the charts as well. It is interesting to see that so many other recent popular titles are not in the top 10 although it was interesting to see that even though it is so far down the line, Mario Kart Wii is sitting at a very respectable 4th place.

It has long been said that Nintendo were making a profit on each console sold but until now we didn’t really have an amount to go with that sentiment. I personally thought that Nintendo were getting about $50 per console but that wasn’t taking into consideration operating and distribution costs, now David Gibson of Macquarie Securities has put all the …

An un-named colleague (Nick) sent a tip over this morning about how Call of Duty 5 on the 360 is outselling the PS3 version by nearly 3:1. Apparently he is not impressed that I kept on sending him the flamebait tips and wanted to get some revenge. However I have been burnt enough recently so I am not going to …

I was browsing GameTrailers looking for some news on a slow day and came across a forum posting about the console sales figures. Now I am sure these stats haven’t been audited but they seem close enough and give us an interesting view on the sales so far. So according to the posting (and VGChartz) we have the following: Last …

Tomb Raider has always felt like a Sony game to me so this news shouldn’t really come as much of a surprise. Though I don’t know why I see Tomb Raider as being a PlayStation game as most of my Lara time was spent behind a PC but there you have it. Anyway according to GamesIndustry.biz the latest iteration of …
