Lewis isn’t around today, so you’ve got me and my rather more less impressive chart analysing analysis. Let’s start with the PS3, then, which sees Rockstar’s Red Read Redemption still atop of the top 20. Likewise, the seemingly evergreen Harry Potter is seeing great sales in Lego form despite not directly launching around the time of a movie, which just shows the power of the Potter brand.
It’s a new entry for Tiger Woods, too, swinging into number 3. We’ll have the full review of the latest Woods game up on the site very soon – it’s a big improvement over last year with slicker graphics and far more intuitive controls, so if you’re thinking of picking it up you’re clearly not the only one. EA’s dominance continues one place down, too, with the latest FIFA sat snuggly at number 4.
Naughty Bear’s in at number 6, despite some less than impressive reviews.
Over on the 360 it’s basically the same story – Red Dead at the top, Lego in second and then FIFA and Tiger Woods playing musical chairs for 3rd and 4th place. Bizarrely, Naughty Bear’s at number six on the 360, too, suggesting some overriding conspiracy presumably instigated by the furry critter himself. We blame Tuffcub.
Both charts are filled with the stuff people should have stopped buying months ago, really – Call of Duty, Bioshock 2 – I’ll bet you’re the sort of people who Sky+ a TV show and then watch it six months later aren’t you? You certainly wouldn’t catch me doing that, unless it contains Gene Hunt, of course, in which case it’s simply on repeat for half a year anyway.
Normal service will be resumed next week.

See RDR kicking butt again…Got to give it to Rockstar they do know how to produce a class product.
Good to see as well that the Howser Brothers are still so hand on with game development contributing to the writing and production still.
So rare for a company’s Boss’s to be so involved nowadays.

My wife has pumped over 26 hours in Lego Harry Potter since I picked it up a week ago FOR MY DAUGHTER. It’s definitely better than the Indy and Batman games, but the main advantage Star Wars will alway have is recognisable characters. The majority of the unlockable characters are just more kids in Hogwarts robes (or if you’re lucky, a jumper).
It’s really well done though, and the sheer volume of stuff to collect in every level* keep you coming back over and over again as you unlock new spells. And then a third time once you unlock some dark wizards.
I think I’ve earnt some SERIOUS PS3 time with that.
