Minecraft blocks top spot on UK charts, Pikmin 3 takes a dive

4.5
A relatively quiet week on the UK charts allows for some meditative crafting, with Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition squarely in first place. The Last of Us moves up to the second of us again, as Pikmin 3, which debuted last week in second, drops all the way off the top ten and into ... still looking ... still looking ... there it is: 15.

It's not all bad news for Nintendo, as Animal Crossing: New Leaf moves up into third this week and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team stumbles ever so slightly from fifth to eleventh.

The Smurfs 2 occupies fifth place, with a sales increase of 115 percent following its debut two weeks ago. That's just smurfed-up. Check out the UK top ten after the break.

Top 10 UK Software Sales (All Formats); week ending August 3:
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition
The Last of Us
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
FIFA 13
The Smurfs 2
Far Cry 3
Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Tomb Raider
Assassin's Creed 3

Retrosaur Wouldn't surprise me. They need to make a PS4 version upon release.


I imagine they will make one close to release or on release, Notch received an invite to the Sony thing, not entirely sure what but something with Sony at E3 as he got a golden PlayStation, so there must be some sort of partnership for that to happen.

The Smurfs 2? Are you kidding me? People actually buy that game? Anyway glad to see Minecraft winning. Last of Us is a great game but once you beat it there's not much left.

bigchukka Minecraft is a great game but im a little shocked to see it beat The Last of us,Assassins Creed 3 and Farcry 3.


To be honest I am not shocked, the game has gotten popular a lot recently

I personally don't see the appeal, I play MC and it gets boring rather quickly.

The gameplay is quite repetitive.


Replayablity, The last of us was a great game but after you beat the storyline their is no replayablity unlike minecraft where you can play it for hours and never get bored

One of the best games ever played.
