[DIGITAL ANALYSIS] by Michael French
EIGHT re-entries in the Steam chart can mean only thing: sale time.
The popular seasonal offers on the dominant download platform mean flash price-cuts and short-time deals propelled the likes of BETHESDA’s Fallout: New Vegas, The Walking Deadfrom TELLTALE and the WARNER BROSBatmanpack into the top ten. Cuts shaved anywhere up to 75 per cent off their RRP.

Some of the top-sellers, such as the Fallouttitle, were selected for heavy price slashing via user votes. Other games that were voted for to have 75 per cent shaved off the price temporarily included Just Cause 2, Galactic Civilizations II, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
Nevertheless, none of the games on sale sold well enough to knock BOHEMIA INTERACTIVE’s Arma II from the top. Although that too at one point had a price cut in the Steam Sale, with 40 per cent off, the title really still dominates thanks to the popularity of the free DayZ zombie mod. Players have invested over 712 years of playtime into the mod, which has recorded 800,000 unique players.
On the console download charts there’s very little change at the top. Minecraftstill rules Xbox Live Arcade, and The Ratchet & Clank Trilogyis still selling well on PSN.
ACTIVISION’s Tony Hawk Pro Skater HDmakes an impressive debut at No.2 in the XBLA chart. But last week’s No.2, SQUARE ENIX’s Quantum Conundrum, has dropped out of the Xbox download top ten after just a week.
