Naughty Dog's fantastic The Last of Us has stormed to the top of the UK all-formats chart and earned the biggest launch for a new gaming franchise in over two years, since Rockstar's L.A. Noire.
It was the third fastest selling game of the year (behind Tomb Raider and BioShock Infinite) and Sony's first chart topper since Uncharted: Golden Abyss at the PlayStation Vita's launch in 2012.
Nintendo had a great week too - the wonderfully addictive Animal Crossing: New Life won second place, and the biggest launch week sales of any non-Mario 3DS title.
UPDATE: We've hunted down a few more statistics on The Last of Us' winning opening, thanks to UK numbers company Chart-Track.
The Last of Us' opening tally was a whopping five times greater than the original Uncharted. It also had stronger launch week sales than Uncharted 2.
It didn't quite match the opening sales of Uncharted 3, although Uncharted 3 was granted an earlier midweek launch - meaning it was on sale for more days - and arrived in the prime November sales season.
