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

This is not a surprise. The only reason it is at the top is because of youtubers. Most people get it for xbox because they cannot afford a good PC that can even handle minecraft.

Zuko I don't get why this game sells so well. Sure it's great and promotes creative thinking, but it's not fun at all.


I'm lost too. Yeah I get it's creative and shit, but that crap is a yawnfest.
