This site was discussed on Slashdot recently as a typical example of a site bringing itself down with too much bloat. I can only agree; with the sales figures now buried between other content and the site being so slow it often doesn't load at all, I enjoy it much less than before the redesign and therefore visit less frequently. Also, and this is subjective, the new design looks worse than the old one: a bit depressing and too generic really. In any case, way too cluttered.
Splitting off the sales figures in a separate site seems like a good idea if it'll make that site lighter again. Though I would like to keep reading news about upcoming games - that's relevant to sales after all. With a better design, it could be combined. Right now, the very latest news is only accessible through that annoying flash headline flipper which forces you to wait - that's just bad design.
