If it weren’t for the date at the top of the page, the latest Xbox Live Activity charts could belong to almost any week since November. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Minecraft. CastleMiner Z. I’ll say this for Xbots: they’re consistent.

PSN charts, March 2013: MLB 13, Atelier Totori score big
Sony has revealed PlayStation Store sales charts for the US for March, showing some discrepancies between regions. In North America, MLB 13 the Show topped the PS3 charts, while Tomb Raider came in much lower than in international territories. As Kotaku points out, Atelier Totori Plus: The Adventurer of Arland topped the NA Vita despite having almost no marketing support, which is certainly interesting. Urban trial Freestyle was the Vita’s other big winner. You can check out the full North American charts below the break; PAL territory figures are also available.
