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.

gtapro151 i dont understand how people enjoy building blocks rather then a great adventure/story like the last of us

Minecraft is a great game, and you get the ability to relax and use your wildest imagination with your friends.
If that's not really cool and relaxing then I don't know.
But I have to say that The Last of Us is a great game that everbody loves.

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

Errm its probably because you have no creativity and cant think outside the "box" to find this enjoyable

Play it before you hate it bro. I felt the same way at one point.

This community is full of ignorance. They hate it before they even do any research about it.

-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

Yeah, Gaming PC's are too expensive for someone who rarely games on a pc.

Honestly though, I think Pikmin 3 should be # 1. It's because it's on the Wii thatit's not.
