News UK Sales Charts: Ghost Recon: Wildlands Holds On
Horizon still selling strong
It's been an electric start to 2017 in many ways, but the industry's just quickly taking a breather before Mass Effect: Andromeda drops. It means that this week's UK sales charts aren't all that exciting, with Ghost Recon: Wildlands retaining its place at the top of the best sellers list. LEGO Worlds is already starting...

News February 2017 NPD: For Honor Ascends as Nioh Stabs Top Ten
But industry declines persist
You've got to give credit to Ubisoft: it may not make games that get NeoGAF giddy, but it sure knows the market well. For Honor has climbed straight to the top of NPD charts in the United States for the month of February, with Ghost Recon: Wildlands surely the frontrunner to pull the same party trick in March's report...
News Sony Is Finally Killing Off the PS3 in Japan
It's been available for over a decade
Ah, the PlayStation 3. The last-gen machine launched over a decade ago in Japan, and even after the PlayStation 4 hit the market, it was still shifting units. Over the last couple of years, however, things have slowed dramatically; once the PS4 hit its stride in the East, PS3 sales fell off a cliff. With that in...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Ghost Recon: Wildlands Snipes Kingdom Hearts
Tango down
It's a bit weird to look at the latest Japanese software charts and see a new game like Ghost Recon: Wildlands sitting pretty at the top, but that's what we're dealing with this week. Ubisoft's open world stealth-shooter hybrid parachuted in at number one, selling a respectable 89,791 copies. It even managed to beat Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5...

Monokuma's waiting

News UK Sales Charts: Wildlands Scores the Largest Launch of the Year
Surprise attack
Ubisoft has once again proven that it's the master of sleeper hits, as its Ghost Recon: Wildlands has secured the largest launch of the year so far. It didn't feel like there was anywhere near the same anticipation for the co-op shooter as the likes of Horizon: Zero Dawn or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but it's sitting...

News Look at The Last of Us' Off-Camera Secrets
Breaking boundaries
The Last of Us is one of the most pristinely polished games in PlayStation history – but like any piece of visual entertainment, it's mostly an optical illusion.

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Hold Despite Switch Launch, Horizon Comes Second to Zelda
Expected results
The obvious talking point of the latest Japanese sales charts is the launch of the Nintendo Switch, which unsurprisingly rocketed to the top of the hardware charts. Ninty's newest moved 329,152 units, meaning that it surpassed the PlayStation 4's opening sales by around 20,000 units. Speaking of which, Sony's current-gen console...

Those of you without a membership will be able to get up to 35 per cent off select...

News UK Sales Charts: Horizon: Zero Dawn Beats Zelda to Summit
Sony's biggest PS4 franchise debut to date
How well has Horizon: Zero Dawn sold? Exceedingly well – in the UK at least. Sony threw the entirety of its marketing muscle behind Aloy's inaugural adventure, and the results speak for themselves: the role-playing release apparently "comfortably" outsold The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – and...

As somewhat uneducated Brits, we find the US taxing system… Interesting to say the least.

The charge will be determined by where you live, with New Jersey, Washington, and Texas some of the states affected by this...

Floating balls, exploding balls, knights, and samurai
We've been saying this for a while now, but the PlayStation 4 really has got off to a great start in 2017. January was bursting at the seams with quality titles, and although February hasn't quite had the same level of success, it's still presented us with a slew of solid releases. Oh, and...

News UK Sales Charts: For Honor Sticks a Sword in the Summit for a Second Week
Calm before the storm
Despite a 72 per cent drop in sales week over week, no title could take For Honor's seat at the summit of the UK sales charts. Xbox One and PC exclusive Halo Wars 2 gave its best shot, but fell short of its predecessor's already modest first week tally, while Grand Theft Auto V, FIFA 17, and Sniper Elite 4 didn't have the...

Sammy Barker, Editor: When I'm not cleaning up the remaining quests...
Talking Point Which Free March 2017 PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
That time again
Surely it's not time for another PlayStation Plus update? Apparently, it is – but then we suppose February is the shortest month of the year. Still, it genuinely doesn't feel like that long ago that Sony dropped complimentary copies of LittleBigPlanet 3 and Not a Hero onto the PlayStation Store, but already it's time to start...

Nioh keeps slashing in second
Not content with conquering the UK charts earlier this week, For Honor has fought its way to first place in the Japanese charts too, selling 40,062 copies on PlayStation 4.

Store Update 21st February 2017 (Europe)
Psychonauts! Ys Origins! More!
With both Horizon: Zero Dawn and NieR: Automata still a little way away, this week's European PlayStation Store update is without any real heavy hitters. That said, there are still a lot of smaller titles to choose from, and it's a particularly strong restock for PlayStation VR. Pyschonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin is...

Hunger games
There's no sign of the new releases slowing down after 2017 has started like a rocket.

And an update from Ben & Ben
So, it's been a while, hasn't it? Well that's for a number of reasons, the first of which you've probably already guessed.

Another reason for the longer than...

News Japanese Sales Charts: Nioh Takes a Stab at Second Place
PS4 continues to top hardware
Unfortunately for PlayStation 4 exclusive Nioh, it's had to go up against a new Dragon Quest game during its first week on the Japanese market, meaning that it was never going to snatch that coveted top spot. The critically acclaimed action title skewered second place, selling 75,477 copies - not a gigantic amount, but...

After last week's dramatically delayed What Are You Playing, we're back with a relatively on-time issue now that our hardware issues have (hopefully) been resigned to the past.

Dead rising
Resident Evil 7 has managed to cling on to the top of the UK sales charts this week, putting it in pole position to secure three consecutive weeks at the summit.

We say clutter,...
News UK Sales Charts: 73% of Resident Evil 7's Retail Copies Sold on PS4
Yakuza and Kingdom Hearts chart
Japanese games generally sell best on the PlayStation 4 but Resident Evil is one of those rare Eastern franchises that commands just as much interest in the West as it does in the East.

There's no point in denying it: we have a massive man-crush on Yakuza protagonist Kazuma Kiryu here at Push Square.

For the heathens among you who don't know who Kazuma Kiryu is,...

PS4 still the hardware king
Gravity Rush 2 has floated straight to the top of the latest Japanese software charts, shifting 74,361 copies.

Me-oh
Gravity Rush 2, for all of its critical acclaim, was always going to be an impossible sell, and unfortunately the superhero sequel has failed to break the UK sales charts top ten.
