Edge-Online charts internet buzz for games in the UK
EA’s Dragon Age: Origins was the resounding victor this week, drawing more than 10,000 mentions with about half of them positive. The overall volume of chatter for the game nearly tripled that of its closest competitors, EA’s FIFA 10 at second place and Microsoft’s Forza Motorsports 3 in third. Namco-Bandai’s Tekken 6 rounded out the top attention getters. All the top games garnered positive mentions in the 50-53 percent range.
This week, Edge-Online breaks out a chart of soccer games to see how they re faring in buzz in the UK. After FIFA, Sega’s Football Manager 2010 and Konami’s PES 2010 dominate the soccer game chatter. The most striking thing in the chart for those on the left side of the Pond might be how many soccer manager simulations the UK market is willing to support.
The chart can be manipulated to rank top ten games by volume of comments, or by percentages of positive and negative mentions. Data is provided by Brandwatch. Check it out at Edge-Online.
