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.

That is crazy that a Wii U game is in the second place overall when they say that their sales are so bad. It was kind of expected that Minecraft would take over first place and I am shocked it only lasted 6 weeks.

Not surprising as Minecraft is the most bought Arcade game ever, and was out before TLOU. And not to mention, Minecraft is for a broader audience opposed to The Last of Us.
