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.

Congratulations to Naughty Dog & Sony, but...

Nah, just kidding. There's always a million reasons to downplay something (and they've all been covered these past few weeks extensively), but sometimes a simple congrats is enough.

In other news, I seem to be seeing both Wii-U and Vita titles in the top 40. Blimey.

Guess we have Andy Murray to thank for that.

Haha, yeah, I guess.  I think the fact that it's £5 literally everywhere I look helps matters too :)

I'm still kind of puzzled as to why so many publishers decide to wedge their games in during the holidays when the summer often offers little competition. It's not like people stop playing games just because it's hot.

In fact, when I ran a rental store, the middle of the summer was pretty good for business. Spring was completely dead but once it really started getting hot, people would stay inside more and more. I know that logic doesn't apply everywhere but I think TLoU and Animal Crossing both prove that people haven't discarded their consoles.
