Minecraft topples The Last of Us in UK charts, Pikmin 3 second

4.6
After surviving for six weeks, The Last of Us' reign as UK No. 1 is over. Naughty Dog's game is blocked from the top spot by a resurgent Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition, a 74 percent rise in sales seeing the XBLA game's disc version tower to the top in its fifth week at retail.

Meanwhile, The Last of Us drops all the way down to third, because the runner-up spot is claimed for the first time by a Wii U exclusive. Yes, the just-landed Pikmin 3 consumes second place in the UK to become the highest-charting Wii U-only game yet, a welcome boost for the fresh-faced console.

It's a positive-looking UK top ten for Nintendo all round, with 3DS games Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team comfortable in fourth and fifth. The big N almost made it four out of ten, the newly released standalone (and very green) retail version of New Super Luigi U coming in at the 13 spot.

GTS they are expanding to ps3 but is very huge in xbox wonder if they are gonna try to combine servers i heared a rumer about that


I doubt that they will combine the servers, it's a possibility though. Having Minecraft on the PS3 will be pretty cool never the less

G36cBossMan I don't see how this game is so great you play with blocks with Nintendo graphics... Sounds like tons of fun...


That's what many people think before they actually play it. The graphics are refreshing actually.. a nice change from the normal graphics of FPS games. The main fun of Minecraft is building and having your creations come to life, being able to make and play in your own world.

-Mark It's surprising to see Minecraft still selling this strong. The xbox version is good but the PC version is a lot better.

I head the Last of Us was a great game too.
It's not 'a lot better' it's simply a lot more updated.


It gets boring quickly. And not all have a gaming pc
