Surprisingly enough, God of War III sold pretty damn well on it’s first day in the Americas

God of War III is out, fucking finally. VGChartz is now telling us that there was over 450,000 pre-orders for the game, so that’s over 450k games sold on the first day. Not too shabby, you might say.

They’re predicting the game sells around 650,000 – 700,000 units in the first week, which in comparison to the previous games, would out-sell them by 20-30%.  Sounds damn fair to me.

UK Charts for Week Ending 3/13/10 – Want a little Final with that Fantasy?

No surprises as usual this week, or at least for the number 1 spot. With Final Fantasy XIII coming out last week, it has taken the number 1 spot away from Bad Company 2, pushing that down to #2, and Just Dance (GASP) to #3. Heavy Rain stays where it’s at, some Modern Warfare 2 (just die already goddammit) up to 6, Ben 10 for some ungodly fucking reason, and Wii games.

UK Sales Charts for the Week Ending 3/6/10: The “We called it, Bad Company 2 took #1″ Edition

Yep, last week we totally called it. Battlefield: Bad Company 2, being released last week, has taken the number one spot away from Heavy Rain. Lucky for us, Just Dance moved up from 3rd to 2nd place, with some AvP moving down, FIFA 10 moving up along with GTA IV (we still don’t know why that’s up there), and Wii games.

Latest UK Charts for week Ending 2/27/10 – Heavy Rain’s Number 1

Yup, another week, another number 1 spot taken by a game that just came out in the UK. Unsurprisingly enough, Heavy Rain took the number 1 spot having just come out in the week, knocking Aliens vs. Predator down a notch. And wait! It looks like before when we were saying that Just Dance wasn’t going to move out of the number 2 spot, it’s moved down the the number 3 spot! I guess you can blame that on us devs.

UK Charts for Week Ending 2/20/10

It looks like no single game can hold the UK charts #1 spot after Modern Warfare 2 had it’s run. Now BioShock 2 got knocked down to number 3, Just Dance is still at the freaking number 2 position and we don’t know why!, and Aliens vs. Predator moved up to the first spot unsurprisingly. And to summarize the rest of the charts, there’s a lot of Wii games and some soccer.
