NPD Top 20 Shows Where Fable II, Animal Crossing Landed [Sales Charts]

Friday, December 12th, 2008
Posted by Michael McWhertor from Kotaku.

You’ve already seen the top ten best-selling games in the U.S. from November, but what about the top twenty? Surely there were some titles you’d expect to be represented — and some you might not.

Gamasutra has the rest of the NPD top twenty, showing that October’s chart-topper, Fable II, slipped to the nineteenth spot. Another Xbox 360 Fallout 3 fared a little better, dropping from third place in October to twelfth last month.

What didn’t squeeze into the first twenty were previous top-tenners LittleBigPlanet, SOCOM Confrontation, Saints Row 2 and Dead Space. New debuts like Animal Crossing (#11) and Guitar Hero: World Tour (#15 and #17) squeezed them out. As did… Mario Kart DS?

Gears Of War 2 Curbstomps Sales Charts, World At War Misses Modern Warfare’s Mark [Npd Group]

Thursday, December 11th, 2008
Posted by Michael McWhertor from Kotaku.

Epic’s Gears of War 2 won the best-selling software crown in the United States last month, selling 1.56 million copies, according to the NPD Group. But Call of Duty: World at War won the multi-SKU battle.

World at War’s tally rang up just shy of the 2.01 million that Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare boasted in November of 2007, with Activision’s WWII shooter moving 1.41 million on the Xbox 360 and 597,000 on the PlayStation 3. November’s other big shooters, Left 4 Dead and Resistance 2, landed at spots eight and nine, respectively.

Wii mainstays Wii Play, Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii each saw a huge sales boost from October, with the missing-in-action Wii Music getting a showing in the top ten.

Professor Layton Gets Japanese Sales Chart Tenure [Simple 2000: The Japanese Software Chart]


Posted by Michael McWhertor from Kotaku.

Level 5’s newest portable puzzle-venture retains the top spot on the charts this week, with Professor Layton fending off the Dragon Ball Z crew — and everyone else. Even the Japanese release of Fallout 3.

Bethesda Softworks’ post-apocalytpic role-playing game did land in the top ten, though, along with the highly rated-by-Famitsu 428: Fuusa Sareta Shibuya de for the Wii. That’s about as exciting as the week got, sadly. But, hey, Pokémon Platinum crossed the two million sold mark and Wii Music is still holding on! You go, Wii Music.

The top thirty best-sellers in Japan from Dec. 1 to 7 follow.

Gears of War 2: Over 3 Million Served [Gears Of War 2]

Monday, December 8th, 2008
Posted by Michael McWhertor from Kotaku.

Epic Games’ Gears of War sequel is in no danger of being branded a dud huge, as the Xbox 360 exclusive has already sold through 3 million copies in just four weeks.

Mark Rein, vice president of Epic, confirmed the accomplishment to Edge Online. He wrote that Gears of War 2 passed the three million mark last week, less than half the time it took the original to reach that goal which ultimately went on to move more than 4.7 million copies.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and bet one zillion dollars that someone, somewhere is thinking that a Gears of War 3 is a pretty good idea.

Microsoft Vista Ultimate gets the (PRODUCT) RED treatment


Posted by Darren Murph from Engadget.

It’s not like (PRODUCT) RED versions of Windows Vista haven’t been shipping on associated systems for months now, but for those who’d prefer to keep the rig they have and just get a colorful / charitable upgrade to Microsoft’s latest OS, this is for you. Listed on the official (PRODUCT) RED website and up for pre-order now at Amazon, the special edition of Windows Vista Ultimate is slated to ship on December 15th. There’s not too many extras here to make you splurge for a second copy (a few new wallpapers and a big warm, fuzzy feeling are definitely nice, though), but those looking to get a new OS and support the push to end AIDS in Africa can buy in now for $219.95 ($64.95 for students).

Professor Layton Schools The Competition In Japan [Simple 2000: The Japanese Software Chart]

Thursday, December 4th, 2008
Posted by Michael McWhertor from Kotaku.

Level 5’s third puzzle-filled Professor Layton adventure for the Nintendo DS tops the Media Create charts this week, fending off a strong PlayStation 3 newcomer with almost 350,000 copies sold to Japanese gamers.

With more than double the sales of Konami’s World Soccer Winning Eleven 2009 for the PS3, Professor Layton and The Final Time Journey begins its own journey to another DS best seller. Last week’s software champ, Animal Crossing: City Folk, tumbles to third place as four new PSP debuts enter the top ten. We wave goodbye to Grand Theft Auto IV and see both Wii Music and Wii Sports teetering on the brink of slipping out of top thirty focus.

For the best selling software in Japan, from Nov.

    gOS Cloud instant-on OS shown on video


    Posted by Darren Murph from Engadget.

    Good OS’ latest operating system was just announced this week, but already some cool cat with a video camera and some serious credentials has managed to record a sneak peek. Quite honestly, the instant-on gOS Cloud system isn’t all that amazing to watch tick, but if you’re looking for a brief glimpse at what’s apt to be fleshed out at CES, head on south of the break.
