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.

Kurumu I am not shocked after beating The Last of Us there is really nothing left to do.


The Last of Us is one of those games that's strictly for campaign and the story line. Like the Walking Dead.


The Last of Us had a GREAT campaign and I'm sure many people enjoy the multiplayer.

Agreed, most people that wanted it have already bought it, but a six week run is something to be proud of.

Not surprised. Minecraft is a game you can keep playing without getting bored so it has more appeal. Not taking anything away from The Last of Us though, it was a great game.

Not suprising Pikmin is up there that game is amazing but Minecraft getting that much sales out of no where is weird.
