Ka-pi96 said: heh, surprising to see the Xbox 360 version of a game doing so well still

Shows that many people still play on this system. But yes, probably it's an amazingly bad chart in general because of abysmal sales numbers so any title that sells some units will chart.

Good for Ratchet and Uncharted to keep their ranks in the top 10 and 5 respectively. So Minecraft Wii U debuted at 15, what do you think it sold, sub 3k?

I forgot that the Lego Star Wars was release that week, no surprise that it is #1.

Ratchet and Clank is showing some amazing kegs considering all the amazing games that have launched since the release of that game.

Ratchet and clank legs continue!

Uncharted 4 still beasting. Serious ps4 domination on the chart again this week. They're taking over the UK.

It is a lot better, in terms of value, to get one year of EA Access than buying Fifa, and probably cheaper.

It actually depend on what games you already have.

I didn't realise Rocket League had a physical release.

Nothing else terribly interesting for me.
