Fifa is just insanely popular.

Damn, its a monster in both reviews and sales, congrats ND.

A Moto GP game? That's suicidal.

Animal Crossing with a larger drop than The Last of Us? That does surprise me!

I remembered that you predicted Animal Crossing would claim the top spot this week :P

TLOU & AC dropping in very similar %'s, but obviously TLOU's drop in numbers will be more hefty.  Still, on the numbers we have from VGC that would still put it with a bigger second week than Animal Crossing's first.  Obviously over time I expect AC to show more legs, though.

OT: Interesting to see Max Payne pop up again.  And higher on PS3, too.  Haven't noticed any promotions myself but I wasn't really paying attention last week I suppose :P

Tomb Raider is really hanging on well in the UK.  I'm impressed; especially since the ad campaign has now died down.  Same with God of War really.  Obviously the price cut is the major cause of this, but still nice to see it hovering around.  Gears is still £25 on amazon and £30 on Shopto; then really just need to hack the price to sell a few more copies imo.

Epic drop for GRID 2, though.  I hope Codemasters survive; because I really think they are great devs, but these sales really are on the low side.  Still, if Milestone Srl can survive on lesser sales; I'm sure Codemasters can too.

great for TLoU, does that mean it did 50k in its second week?

also great to see tomb raider still selling so good. max payne charting this high makes me happy as well, i know its because of discounts but i still love the game, i hope they make a max payne 4

Edit : checked the numbers for the TLoU first week in the UK, 130k! so that means second week should be around 65k. epic numbers indeed!

I thought the last of us would have good 2nd week numbers because of it being a new IP. I think this game is going to have good legs to be honest, for the very same reason. Well established franchises tend to be more front loaded.

Great for TLOU.

And GoW is doing a really good job holding in the chartz too.

Can't believe Fifa is still charting.
