No ideas why games don't release in the summer. It works for movies, it should work for games too. With no competition, this is quite an easy feat.

What were the sales in the same period?

I hope Pikmin 3 fails miserably so TLoU will go on for another week.

LOL. I see, so it won by default and not because it's a fantastic game.

Let's ignore this shall we?

It deserves all the success it's getting. Incredible game.

So Summer drought, media push and advertising.

So I take it it's the only game in the charts then and the success of COD has nothing to do with media push and advertising. Fella, it's a masterpiece, a one off, a gem that defined next gen before next gen arrived.

Of course not. It's purely because of quality, passion and innovation.

you can thank those records to the vast number of australians buying from UK,
