2008 Console Sales – Who really won?

By Gavin Mannion

In the beginning of 2008 you didn’t have to look far to see a story about how 2008 was going to be the year of the PS3, I always thought that the Wii would cakewalk it again and some people expected a price drop on the 360 would propel it into the lead. So how did it all go in …

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 …

Recently I have noticed a strange phenomena going around, whenever I publish anything that relates to or mentions VGChartz there is a small but vocal group of people who then refuse to believe anything else that the article contains. I am not sure why this has started happening but I can only presume that it is based on the fact …

Fable 2 sells 1 Million Copies in it's first week

If my name was Peter Molyneux, I would be feeling pretty relaxed right now. Well, wouldn't you? There is an unspoken rule about videogaming that if your game sells a million copies, it can truly be considered successful. Fable 2 has proven itself more than worthy by crossing the one million mark in the first week of it's release. While some people get grumpy when I refer to VGchartz.com, their report for worldwide sales of the week ending on October 24th shows Fable 2 as the number seller with a total of 1,000,901 sales. I thought that Fable 2 was going to be very popular but I really didn't expect it to take off so incredibly well. Out of my personal experience I realised that I thought that most of the buyers were going to be the fans of Fable 2, completely forgetting that a lot of newer and more "casual" gamers might be interested by its approachability, which seems to also be the case. It's a pretty incredible start to Fable 2's sales, who knows how many will have sold by the end of the Christmas season.
