It doesn't have to be either or. A sleeper hit is a game that has had no expectations or hype/ awareness and comes out of nowhere and does blockbuster/great numbers, like Just Dance 1, Call of Duty 4 ect.

Gran Turismo certainly came back with a vengeance

i agree.

ok so R3 has had hype and no expectations it seems. so your saying it can just sell?

Just UK is this week chartz or there are others?

GRAN TURISMO 5 RETURNS!!!

I see... Netherlands is 10/09/2011... so two days GT5 Platinum and it not entered in TOP10 :(

Zombie survival title Dead Island has devoured last week's number one Deus Ex: Human Revolution to claim the UK chart's top spot.

Warhammer 40K: Space Marine entered close behind in second, while PlayStation 3 exclusive Resistance 3 entered fourth.

Nintendo remake Star Fox 64 3D entered in ninth while NHL 12 appeared in 12th.

Last week's other new entry, Kinect horror title Rise of Nightmares, could only muster a 37th placing.

Quirky 9/10 adventure El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron failed to make the top 40 altogether.

Against the deluge of new titles, Driver: San Francisco slipped into third. Deus Ex diminished to fifth. Codemasters shooter Bodycount, which launched last week in 36th place, disappeared altogether.

Zumba Fitness, Rugby World Cup, Lego Pirates and a budget-priced Gran Turismo 5 made up the rest of the top 10.
