Oh for god sake, nobody is saying it isnt.  It is the "6 week" thing that is misleading thats all.  Its summer, blockbusters hardly ever release in summer.

Stop being so defensive.

Defensive? "No1 with 10k sales..? Jesus, software sales are worse than I thought at the moment."

I know English isnt your first language so I'll let you off.

Ok @kowen... you have always a "but" and I'm defensive.

Like is said I cant believe how low sales are at the moment, thats a cuple fo hundfed sales right there.

6 weeks is a fine achievement.  But those 6 weeks = 300k in sales.  The COD six weeks is 2.7m in sales.

You simply cant just ignore that.

Nobody expected TLoU to track like CoD or FIFA in UK... 300k in six weeks is better than 99% of the games releases and an accomplishment for a new IP in a single plataform.


Oh for god sake, nobody is saying it isnt.  It is the "6 week" thing that is misleading thats all.  Its summer, blockbusters hardly ever release in summer.

Nothing misleading about it. Its been number 1 for 6 weeks. Doesnt matter when it released. Doesnt matter how many units it sold - Its topped the charts for 6 weeks.



                            

A couple of things to consider about the amazing performance of The Last of Us;

It's an 18+ title
Is exclusive to 1 format
Is released in the summer drought
Is released near the end of the generation
It hasn't been discounted in price yet
The system it's released on is not leading in the UK market
It's a new IP

And then it goes on to stay at number 1 for 6 consecutive weeks. Simply mind-boggling! And let's not forget about all the perfect review score it's managed to earn.

Brilliant for TloU even though not much competition around, still it's holding up extremely well!

3DS continues to impress, 8 in top 40, 3 in top 10. Also great hold for M&L! I'm glad :) MK boost comes from a recent bundle where you get a free MK7 game with a 3DS/3DS XL. There will be a boost for the 3DS this week as MK7 and NSMB 2 boosts are usually accompanied by hardware boosts.

Same for Wii U, recent discounts have given it a bit of a boost but at number 33 it's not that impressive really :/. Still better than nothing I guess.

It is good, but aside from Animal Crossing it hasn't really had an awful lot of competition



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Every Nintendo fan was expecting Animal Crossing to dethrone it. No one would've been surprised if Minecraft came in at number 1. Really, it's impressive no matter how one may put it.

6 weeks is no less of a fact that COD selling much better than TLOU. You're not the only one with facts here, Kowenicki. Nothing wrong with what ethomaz said and this has nothing to do with him not being a non native speaker.



a lot of "yeah, but" posts in here.

cant you just say well done?
