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.

MW2-Rush Why is everyone hating on Minecraft, its a fun game. I recommend to anyone! You atleast have to give it a try before disliking it.


I think people should atleast give Minecraft a go before actually judging it. I personally think that it deserves the amount of sales that it's getting

Pray Such a waste to see The Last of Us get destroyed by a little kids game.

MineCraft is garbage it's TOO repetitive. Anything that you build you'll know someone else built it or you're building the same thing.


How is Minecraft a little kids game?


Most people think it's a kids game seeming that you are building things.. I have no idea why though. If not that then it's because many 8-12 year olds have been playing it lately (my little brother who is 8 is currently playing Minecraft)

I always used to be like are you gay playing minecraft? Well i tried it and i play it almost everyday now, to really enjoy it you need to have creativity but it's better than the last of us that game is for squares.

It doesn't take creativity to play that game.

It's the difference between playing someone elses story and playing your own. A little imaginatation goes a long way.
