"Gamasutra's weekly column, "Saling The World", covers the top five sellers for every available platform in the United States, Japan, and Europe, providing an important update of sales patterns worldwide.

This week's charts, with data taken from February 5th, 2009, find Halo 3 and Call of Duty: World at War at the top of North America's Xbox 360 software sales charts, while Star Ocean: Second Evolution and Mario Kart DS drive sales on portables.

Data for "Saling The World" comes courtesy of the public sales information on Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, and Amazon.co.jp, with sales split out for each platform and territory, and pre-orders disregarded. This results in a true sense of what games are selling worldwide on the real-time updated service, as follows..."

So here we are again, after having celebrated and eaten until our bellies started to crack. Last week we had no UK charts post due to the fact we were too busy eating turkey and opening presents.

But let's see if the new year has affected the sales, in Chart Track's UK charts for week ending 3 January 2009…

For the second year running, the Xbox 360 is the king of consoles. Barely edging out the impressive PS3, the swanky new dash and the amazing exclusives like Gears of War 2 and Fable 2 put Microsoft over the top. The Wii's casual focus didn't garner it any votes this year.

PlanetXbox360: "With Call of Duty: World at War's initiation into the Call of Duty franchise, comparisons and preferences have been widely expressed and slung around unnecessarily frequently. Back when Call of Duty 3 came out, the talk wasn't nearly as heavy, and the winner of the battle was clearly Call of Duty 2 over 3 (or at least in my niche of friends). But now, Treyarch managed to, and I have no idea how, totally confuse the hell out of players as to the simple question of "which game is better." It's hard to say, really, since the two are, at their roots, the same game, albeit visual aesthetics are greatly improved and, well... all the inherit stuff that comes from being in World War II again.

There are differences between the two, though, some significant and some not, so I've made list of them. Since World at War is merely the same game with several new features in a blatant attempt to one-up Infinity Ward's game, I'll be structuralizing this list to display the best features; contrarily, for Call of Duty 4's list, it will be comprised of features that couldn't translate over to World at War; from either design choices, or being 70 years in the future, they will be mentioned."

Lazard Capital senior analyst Colin Sebastian has issued a warning about triple A product discounting over the Christmas and New Year period, on fears that it could lead to a general trend in a difficult economy and subsequently lower publisher revenues.

He voiced his concerns in a recent analyst note looking at Activision Blizzard's move to knock USD 10 off the price of Call of Duty: World at War, bringing the US retail price point down to USD 49 - a move that follows price reductions on Guitar Hero: World Tour, and other cuts from Electronic Arts and Ubisoft.
