Clearly, the fun never stops at Future.

Ouch.
I'd hate that.
Lowest figures ever for the official mag: http://abcpdfcerts.abc.org.uk/pdf/certificates/12252965.pdf
Given that there's more users now, that does seem odd...

Maybe it's because the magazine is the biggest pile of shite I've ever had the misfortune to read. That could be something to do with it...

177k still beats the lowest-selling US magazines. Is it just a matter of nobody buying magazines at all over there anymore?

Isnt it the biggest selling game mag in the UK?

It is the biggest selling games mag in the UK, by a huge margin, but 177,450 a month is woeful considering the license. At the height of the PS1 they were shifting ~600K of the official PS rag, rivalling FHM for biggest monthly. Future must have projected far greater sales at the peak of the PS2s cycle, i.e. now, when they originally signed the OPSM2 deal with Sony.

An editorial change can't be a bad thing considering how shitty the mag is but the pricing is just ridiculous, £5.99 for glossy toilet paper and a few, usually time limited and severely neutered, demos is a rip-off.

Damn! That's way impressive. Would that make it the most successful UK mag ever?

I remember they used to brag about it being the biggest single format mag...in the world!
