29/Dec/2003
‘Need for Speed: Underground’ (PS2/XB/GC/PC)
from EA overtakes EA’s ‘Medal of Honor: Rising Sun’ (PS2/XB/GC) which
falls to No2, to claim the No1 spot for the last week of the year.
EA’s ‘FIFA 2004’ (PS2/PSX/GC/GBA/XB/PC/NG) moves
up from No4 to No3 ahead of Vivendi’s ‘The Simpsons: Hit and Run’
(PS2/XB/GC/PC) which drops from No3 to No4. After being denied last
week by Vivendi, EA once again have all Top 3 titles in the All Formats
Chart, but with ‘Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup’ (PS2/GBA/PC/GC)
falling out of the Top 10 from No9 to No13, EA now have 5 rather than 6
Top 10 titles. However, 65% of the total unit sales from the Top 10 All
Formats titles are attributed to EA, compared to a similar figure of 68%
last week. ‘Lord of the Rings: Return of the King’ consolidates its
position at No5 with strong sales, while ‘Lord of the Rings: The Two
Towers’ (PS2/XB/GBA) re-enters the Top 40 due partly to the cinema
release of the last instalment in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. 2
other titles re-enter the Top 40 All Formats Charts thanks in the most
part to retailer Christmas sale promotions: Eidos’ ‘Hitman 2: Silent
Assassin’ (PS2/XB) re-enters at No34, while EA/Nintendo/Namco’s
‘SoulCalibur II’ (PS2/XB/GC) re-enters at No38. The highest climbers
this week are EA’s ‘Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004’ (PS2/XB/PC/GBA) which is
up 11 places from No27 to No14 and Ubisoft’s ‘XIII’ (PS2/XB/PC/GC), up 8
places from No19 to No11. The ‘Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack’ (PS2/XB)
enters the All Formats Chart for the first time this week at No18 thanks
to the release of the Xbox version.

EA wishes everyone a wartorn Christmas
22/Dec/2003
EA’s ‘Medal Of Honor: Rising Sun’
(PS2/XB/GC) remains No1 in the All Formats Chart for a fourth week in
succession and as such claims the coveted Official Christmas No1, the
first time a wargame has held the Christmas Top Spot.
EA demonstrate a stranglehold on this year’s
Christmas Top 10, with 6 titles, up from 4 last year which was also a
record-breaker as no publisher had ever held more than 3 in the
Christmas Chart Week Top 10 (since 1997 as that is when the Overall All
Formats Chart was launched). EA remain at No2 with ‘Need For Speed:
Underground’ (PS2/XB/GC/PC) but cannot claim the Top 3 as Vivendi have
another storming week with ‘The Simpson: Hit & Run’ (PS2/XB/GC/PC)
and the title rises another place to claim No3. EA take No4 with ‘FIFA
2004’ (PS2/PSX/GC/GBA/XB/PC and N-Gage, new this week) and also take No5
with ‘Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King’ (PS2/XB/GC/GBA/PC).
Activision take No’s 6 & 7 for a third week with ‘True Crime:
Streets Of LA’ (PS2/XB/GC) and ‘Tony Hawk’s Underground’ (PS2/XB/GC/GBA)
respectively. EA debut at No8 with PS2/XB/GC/GBA ‘The Sims: Bustin’
Out’ and remain at No9 with PS2/GBA/PC/GC ‘Harry Potter: Quidditch World
Cup’. Disney/THQ bring up No10 with PS2/XB/GC/GBA/PC ‘Finding Nemo’.
Also of note is Universal/Vivendi’s ‘Crash Nitro Kart’ (PS2/XB/GC/GBA)
which climbs 13 places to take No11 – thanks to some major price
promotional activity on the PS2 version. Sony take No12 with PS2 ‘Eye
Toy: Play’ whilst Ubisoft climb 9 places to No13 with their big
Christmas title, ‘Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time’ (PS2/GBA/PC).

EA only claims top 3 this week
15/Dec/2003
EA’s ‘Medal Of Honor: Rising Sun’ remains
No1 in the All Formats Chart for a third week in succession with EA
still at No2 and No3 although the titles switch positions - ‘Need For
Speed: Underground’ (PS2/XB/GC/PC) is now No2 and the 6 formats of ‘FIFA
2004’ are No3.
Unlike last week however, EA cannot keep the Top 4
as Vivendi’s ‘The Simpsons: Hit & Run’ (PS2/XB/GBA/PC) enjoys an
incredible sales week, leapfrogging EA’s ‘Lord Of The Rings: Return Of
The King’ to take No4. The aforementioned Tolkien title drops one place
to No5, although it will be interesting to see if the release of the
film during week 51 will have a marked effect on sales. This week’s big
mover is Atari’s PS2/XB/GBA ‘Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines’, up
from No34 to No10 and enjoying some strong retailer price promotion. EA
enter at No17 with ‘Total Club Manager 2004’ thanks to the new PS2
version which joins the existing PC and Xbox versions.

Friendly fire as EA's Medal of Honor shoots FIFA down to No3
01/Dec/2003
EA knocks its own title off the No1 position
in the All Formats Chart this week with ‘Medal of Honor: Rising Sun’
(PS2/XB/GC) grabbing the coveted top spot and pushing the multi-format
‘FIFA 2004’ down to No3.
This is EA’s third different title to make it to
No1 in the All Formats Chart in the past 10 weeks as opposed to only the
one title, ‘FIFA 2003’ during the same 10 week period in 2002. EA’s
‘Need for Speed: Underground’ (PS2/XB/PC/GC) holds on to the No2 spot,
while EA’s ‘Lord of the Rings: Return of the King’ (PS2/XBOX/GBA/GC/PC)
drops one place from No3 to No4. The only other new entry in the All
Formats Top 10 other than ‘Medal of Honor: Rising Sun’ is an Ubisoft
title: ‘Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time’ (PS2/GBA), which debuts at
No10. The highest climber is Sony’s ‘Eye Toy: Play’ (PS2) which climbs 7
places from No18 to No11 with its highest sales week since its launch
22 weeks ago. Microsoft’s ‘Project Gotham Racing 2’ (XB) debuts this
week at No17 in the All Formats Chart, and at No1 in this week’s Xbox
Chart ahead of EA’s Xbox version of ‘Medal of Honor: Rising Sun’ which
enters at No2. There are 2 other new entries in the All Formats chart
this week: Ubisoft’s highly acclaimed cell shaded fps ‘XIII’
(XB/PC/PS2/GC) comes in at No30 and Vivendi’s ‘Crash Nitro
Kart’(PS2/GBA/XB/GC) is a new entry at No35.

5-0 to FIFA - EA is top of the table for a fifth week
24/Nov/2003
EA’s multi-format ‘FIFA 2004’ holds on to
No1 in the All Formats Chart for a fifth week, whilst EA debut at No2
with ‘Need For Speed: Underground’ (PS2/XB/GC).
EA also take No3, up one place from last week with
‘Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King’ (PS2/XB/GC/GBA/PC).
Activision’s ‘True Crime: Streets of LA’ (PS2/XB/GC) drops 2 places to
No4, even with the addition of the Gamecube version this week. It’s not
all bad news for Activision though, as ‘Tony Hawk’s Underground’ is the
second highest new entry debuting at No5 (PS2/XB/GC/GBA). The last of
this week’s big new entries is Eidos’ PC ‘Championship Manager: Season
03/04’, in at No6. Fox/Vivendi drop one place to No7 with ‘The
Simpsons: Hit & Run’ (PS2/XB/GC/PC), THQ’s PS2 ‘WWE Smackdown! Here
Comes The Pain’ suffers a drop of 3 places to No8 and Disney/THQ also
move down 2 places to No9 with ‘Finding Nemo’ (PS2/XB/GC/GBA/PC). The
biggest fall is reserved for Nintendo’s GC ‘Mario Kart: Double Dash!!’,
down from No3 to No10.

No smackdown for FIFA at No1
10/Nov/2003
EA’s multi-format ‘FIFA 2004’ stays at No1
in the All Formats Chart for a third week (PC and GBA versions are new
this week), despite strong competition, particularly from THQ and from
Activision.
THQ’s PS2 exclusive ‘WWE Smackdown! Here Comes the
Pain’ enters at No2 with the 12th highest sales week ever, higher than
last year’s ‘WWE Smackdown! Shut your Mouth’. Activision’s GTA-style
title ‘True Crime: Streets of LA’ (PS2 and Xbox) comes in at No3, ahead
of Vivendi’s cartoon take on the same GTA title ‘The Simpsons: Hit &
Run’ (PS2, Xbox and Gamecube) which climbs 4 places from No8 to No4.
The only other new entry to make it into the Top 10 of the All Formats
Chart is Activision’s multiplayer supported ‘Medal of Honor’ clone,
‘Call of Duty’ (PC). There are 4 other new entries in the All Formats
Top 40: Lucasarts’ Gamecube exclusive ‘Star Wars: Rebel Strike – Rogue
Squadron III’ at No14, Ubisoft’s Xbox Live ‘Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six 3’
at No15, EA’s ‘Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup’ at No19 and finally
Microsoft’s Xbox Live ‘Top Spin’ at No35.

Tiger Woods becomes first ever Golf All Formats No1
06/Oct/2003
EA’s ‘Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004’ (PS2, Xbox,
PC and Gamecube) becomes the first golf title ever to reach No1 in the
All Formats Chart, knocking another EA affiliated title ‘SoulCalibur II’
(Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox) down to No2.
The biggest surprise however, is the performance
of 2 titles that were released less than 17 weeks ago: ‘Hulk’ (PS2,
Xbox, PC and Gamecube) from Vivendi storms back into the All Formats Top
40 at No3, while Sony’s ‘Formula One 2003’ (PS2) re-enters at No4, both
thanks to retailer promotion with the newly priced PS2 console. The
new entries this week are all from THQ: ‘WWE Raw 2’ (Xbox) at No19,
‘Finding Nemo’ (PS2, GBA, PC and Xbox) at No20 and ‘WWE Wrestlemania
XIX’ (Gamecube) at No27.

Xbox-only Star Wars is No1 game in All Formats galaxy
15/Sep/2003
‘Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic’
(Xbox) from Lucasarts storms in to the No1 position in the All Formats
Chart this week, ahead of Sony’s ‘Eye Toy: Play’ (PS2) which drops to
No2.
In fact Lucasarts has the No1 title in both the
Xbox and Gamecube charts thanks to the budget title ‘Star Wars: Rogue
Leader’ (Gamecube) which moves up from No2 to No1. Despite the release
of the PC version, SCI’s ‘The Great Escape’ (PS2, Xbox, PC) falls from
No2 to No4. The only other new release to make it into the All Formats
Top 10 is Sony’s sequel to the RPG ‘Dark Cloud’ called ‘Dark Chronicle’
(PS2). Both new releases in the All Formats Top 10 are in fact RPG
titles. The only other new releases to make it into the Top 40 All
Formats Chart are EA’s ‘Madden NFL 2004’ (PS2, Xbox, PC and Gamecube)
which enters at No11 and Eidos’s film tie-in ‘The Italian Job: L.A
Heist’ (PS2, Xbox and Gamecube) which debuts at No19. The highest
climber is EA’s add-on ‘Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII’ (PC)
which climbs from No30 to No24.

Sony's Socom knocks Matrix off No1 with Sony's Eye Toy due next week
30/Jun/2003
Sony has its first All Formats No1 since the
launch of ‘The Getaway’ (PS2) at the beginning of the year. ‘Socom: US
Navy Seals’ finally gets hold of the No1 spot, leaving Atari’s ‘Enter
the Matrix’ (PS2, Xbox, PC and Gamecube) at No2.
There are 6 new releases in the All Formats Top 40
this week. The highest new entry is Codemasters’ ‘World Championship
Snooker 2003’ (PS2, Xbox) which enters the chart at No10. The other new
releases in the All Formats Top 40 are Koei’s ‘Dynasty Warriors 4’
(PS2) at No13, Microsoft’s ‘Midtown Madness 3’ (Xbox) at No14, EA’s ‘F1
Career Challenge’ (PS2, Xbox and Gamecube) at No24, THQ’s ‘Evil Dead:
Fistful of Boomstick’ (PS2, Xbox) at No33 and finally Sega’s ‘Sonic
Adventure DX: Director’s Cut’ (Gamecube) at No35. With the release of
the latest Harry Potter book this week, unsurprisingly the highest
climber in the All Formats Chart is EA’s multi-format ‘Harry Potter –
Chamber of Secrets’, up 14 places from No26 to No12. However Empire’s
‘Starsky & Hutch’ (PS2, Xbox and PC) also climbs well, up 7 places
from No15 to No8.
What is 'Enter the Matrix'? All Formats No1 for a sixth week
23/Jun/2003
In the All Formats Chart Atari’s ‘Enter the
Matrix’ (PS2, Xbox, PC and Gamecube) holds on to No1 for a sixth
consecutive week, but only by the smallest of margins from Sony’s
‘Socom: US Navy Seals’ (PS2) at No2.
Microsoft has the highest new entry in the All
Formats Chart with ‘Brute Force’ (Xbox) at No4. Vivendi’s ‘Hulk’ (PS2,
Xbox, PC and Gamecube) climbs an impressive 4 places from No9 to No5,
while Take 2’s ‘Midnight Club II’ (PS2, Xbox) is the highest climber in
the All Formats Top 40, up 9 places from No15 to No 6, due to the
release this week of the Xbox version. Other new releases in the All
Formats Top 40 are Activision’s ‘Star Trek: Elite Force II’ (PC) at No13
and Empire’s ‘Starsky and Hutch’ (PS2, Xbox, PC) at No15. Activision
have a re-entry at No11 with ‘Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix’
(Xbox, PC and Mac) – the Xbox version new this week.
Sony's online matrix can't topple Atari's multi-format giant
16/Jun/2003
Atari’s ‘Enter the Matrix’ (PS2, XBox, PC
and Gamecube) is No1 for a fifth consecutive week in the All Formats
Chart, despite the launch of Sony’s first PS2 online titles and network
adaptor.
Sony’s PS2 online title ‘SOCOM: US Navy Seals’ is
the highest new entry in the All Formats Chart, in at No2. The only
other new release in the All Formats Top 40 is Vivendi’s ‘Hulk’ (PS2,
Xbox, Gamecube and PC) which comes in at No 9. Codemasters’ ‘Colin
McRae Rally 3’ (PS2, Xbox and PC) re-enters the All Formats Top 40 at
No20 with the launch this week of the PC version.
Matrix still No1 as Top 6 are all non-movers
09/Jun/2003
Atari’s ‘Enter the Matrix’ (PS2, XBox, PC
and Gamecube) is No1 for a fourth consecutive week in the All Formats
Chart. There is very little change in the All Formats Top 10 this week,
with the first 6 titles all non-movers.
Activision’s ‘Return to Castle Wolfenstein:
Operation Resurrection’ (PS2) is the only new release in the Top 40 All
Formats Chart, in at No7. It is also the first Castle Wolfenstein title
to be released on PS2. The highest climber in the Top 40 All Formats
Chart is Konami’s ‘Dancing Stage Megamix’ (PS2), up 27 places from No40
to No13. Activision’s Xbox Castle Wolfenstein title, ‘Return to Castle
Wolfenstein: Tides of War’ moves from No17 to No 23, while Konami’s
other dance title in the All Formats Top 40, ‘Dancing Stage Party
Edition’ (PSX) is down two places from No12 to No14. THQ’s ‘Red Faction
II’ re-enters the chart at No39 with the release of the Xbox, Gamecube
and PC versions alongside the existing PS2 version. There are also new
Gamecube and Gameboy Advance versions of Ubi Soft’s ‘Tom Clancy’s
Splinter Cell’, joining the already released PS2 and Xbox versions.
However ‘Splinter Cell’ doesn’t manage to climb, instead holding on to
No6 in the All Formats Chart.
3rd week at No1 for 'Enter the Matrix'
02/Jun/2003
Atari’s ‘Enter the Matrix’ (PS2, XBox, PC
and Gamecube) is No1 for a third consecutive week in the All Formats
Chart. There is little movement among the other titles in the Top 10
with Nintendo’s ‘The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker’ (Gamecube)
re-entering the Top 10 at No9.
Take 2’s ‘Grand Theft Auto: Vice City’ (PS2 and
PC) falls 2 places to No5 after the release of the PC version 3 weeks
ago, while Ubi Soft’s ‘Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell’ (PS2, Xbox and PC)
goes up 2 places to No6. There is only one new entry in the Top 40 All
Formats Chart this week - Konami’s ‘Dancing Stage Megamix’ for PS2 at
No40. EA’s array of Sims titles does especially well this week. In the
All Formats Chart, EA’s ‘The Sims: Superstar’ holds strong at No2, while
‘The Sims’ (PC, PS2, Xbox and Gamecube) is up one place to No4. ‘The
Sims: Unleashed’ also rises in the All Formats Chart, up from No30 to
No23. This is even more remarkable when you look at the PC Full Price
Chart, which this week has 5 ‘Sims’ titles in the Top 10 with both ‘The
Sims: On Holiday’ and ‘The Sims: Hotdate’ re-entering the Top 10 at No8
and No9 respectively, both climbing 11 places.
No1 'Enter the Matrix' blows the wind out of Zelda
26/May/2003
Atari’s ‘Enter the Matrix’ (PS2, XBox, PC
and Gamecube) holds firm at No1 for a second week in the All Formats

week.
The highest new entry is EA’s add-on ‘The Sims:

are the only other publisher to have a Top 10 new entry this week with
Silent Hill 3 (PS2) at No7. Nintendo’s ‘The Legend of Zelda: The Wind
Waker’ (Gamecube) drops out of the All Formats Top 10 and is also down
one place to No2 in the Gamecube Top 20, having been replaced at No1 by
Atari’s ‘Enter the Matrix’. Nintendo’s Zelda franchise is also knocked
off the No1 spot in the Gameboy Advance Top 30 with ‘Zelda 3 – Link to
the Past’ dropping to No2, being replaced at No1 by Konami’s ‘Yu-Gi-Oh!
Worldwide Edition’. The next highest PC new entries in the All Formats
Top 40 this week are Microsoft’s ‘Rise of Nations’ at No25 and Ubi
Soft’s online-only fps ‘Planetside’ at No36.
Atari's Enter the Matrix' is a 'neo' entry at No1
19/May/2003
Atari’s ‘Enter the Matrix’ (PS2, XBox, PC
and Gamecube) is straight in at No1 in the All Formats chart for week 20
followed by Rockstar/Take 2’s ‘Grand Theft Auto: Vice City’ up to No2
from No9 thanks to the release of the PC version this week.
Rockstar/Take 2 also hold the No3 spot with
‘Midnight Club II’ (PS2) which was launched 2 weeks ago. There is a new
entry at No4 with the XBox exclusive title ‘Return to Castle
Wolfenstein: Tides of War’ from Activision. Last week’s No1, Nintendo’s
‘The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker’ (Gamecube) has to settle for No6
this week, while Ubisoft’s ‘Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell’ (PS2, XBox and
PC) is also down, from No3 to No7. The only other 2 new entries in the
All Formats Top 20 this week are ‘Moto GP: Ultimate Racing Technology 2’
(XBox) from THQ in at No12 and the budget car (not wrestling) title
‘WWE Crush Hour’ (PS2 and Gamecube) which debuts at No16.
Zelda still in pole pole position with Burnout 2 No8 on starting grid
12/May/2003
There are only a few significant new
releases for week 19. Acclaim’s ‘Burnout 2: Point of Impact’ (PS2) is
joined by Xbox and Gamecube versions, which help it re-enter the Top 40
All Formats Chart at No8, as well as reach No1 in the Xbox chart ahead
of Microsoft’s ‘Halo: Combat Evolved’ and enter the Gamecube chart at
No2 behind Nintendo’s ‘The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker’.
‘Zelda’ holds at No1 for a second week on the All
Formats Chart, ahead of Rockstar/Take 2’s Midnight Club II (PS2) at No2
(from No3) and Ubi Soft’s ‘Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell’ (PS2) at No3
(from No2). Activision’s add-on ‘Medieval: Total War – Viking Invasion’
(PC) is the next highest new entry, coming in at No20 on the All
Formats Chart and at No2 on the PC CD (Full Price) Chart.
Zelda No1 but can't outperform N64 Zelda's launch week
05/May/2003
Week 18 sees ‘The Legend of Zelda: The Wind
Waker’ (GC) from Nintendo become the title with the 12th highest sales
week ever (although not as big as Nintendo’s N64 ‘Zelda: Ocarina of
Time’ which has the 9th highest sales week).
Needless to say, it occupies No1 in the All
Formats chart, with another new entry, Take 2’s ‘Midnight Club II’ (PS2)
in at No3. EA’s ‘The Sims’ (PS2, PC, Xbox and Gamecube) falls to No5
from No2, whilst despite the release of the X-Men 2 movie, Activision’s
multi-format ‘X-Men 2: Wolverine’s Revenge’ drops one place to No7.
Top 3 stay put while X-Men 2: Wolverine's Revenge claws into Top 10
28/Apr/2003
In week 17, the Top 3 in the All Formats chart remains the same.
Ubisoft are on top with ‘Tom Clancy’s Splinter
Cell’ (PS2, PC and Xbox), EA’s ‘The Sims’ (PS2, PC, Xbox and Gamecube)
