After looking up some of the bigger titles to be released over the past two years in UK, I've noticed that TLoU actually has really good legs in comparison to most games. What I'll be looking for in the fall is a continuation of that. Hopefully this manages to pick up quite a few more sales in the holiday season. The holidays are a huge boon to those weekly sales indexes. For example, Halo 4 didn't hit 10k until the first week after Christmas, though it was trending roughly 1.8 times what TLoU was doing.

Maybe we can see this game crack 600k in the UK.


Its worth noting that The Last of Us has been in relatively low stock (anecdotal, I admit), and it is yet to recieve a pricecut.

Im really not sure how it will do in the holidays, with the next gen consoles launching and competition from Call of Duty, Battlefield, GTA and Gran Turismo.

I still think it will do really well. I don't think the TLoU crowd sells to the CoD or BF crowd anyway, though it might see competition from GTA seeing as how both have similar storytelling narratives. PS3 will stil be a huge seller this holiday, new consoles or not. Hopefully, we'll see a TLoU bundle out in November as well.

Do you remember that sign in TLoU? It was in colorado or philly, it said "mandatory evacuation 11/7/13". Could be a hint at something for the game. DLC, Bundle, ps4 version, sequel announcement (not with joel or ellie hopefully), etc.
