‘Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition’ (+13%) digs in at the top of the All Formats Chart for a third successive week.

It is Microsoft’s longest unbroken run at No1 since ‘Forza Motorsport 2’ held top spot for 3 weeks back in W25 2007. With the start of the Premiership football season a week away, ‘FIFA 13’ (+24%) continues its rise back up the chart, climbing another two places to No2. ‘The Smurfs 2’ (+35%) also continues to grow in popularity, up two places to No3 after 4 weeks on release. The ‘Tales’ series of titles might not be a big name in the UK, but this week’s only new entry, Japanese RPG ‘Tales of Xillia’ still manages to give Namco Bandai a No4 debut.

‘Animal Crossing: New Leaf’ (-16%) drops two places to No5, but this week outsells the critically acclaimed ‘The Last of Us’ (-25%) which has to settle for No6. Familiar faces complete the Top 10 line-up with ‘Black Ops II’ (+9%) up one place to No7, ‘Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes’ (-3%) down one place to No8 and ‘Tomb Raider’ (+0%) and ‘Assassin’s Creed III’ (-7%) both non-movers at No9 and No10 respectively.

PAL Charts - Week 30, 2013
PAL Charts - Week 31, 2013
 
I was hoping they'd give a comparison for Xillia vs. past Tales games, because on the surface its a fairly ho-hum start.

I wonder how many millions Minecraft is going to sell at retail in addition to the 7 million and rapidly growing its done on XBLA. Its not _that_ far off the PC version which I would never have thought possible.
 
I wasn't expecting to see Animal Crossing being higher than TLOU now in UK. I know it's started happening in France and Germany, but seeing UK following so soon was unexpected for me.
Great, great Xillia debut.
For those wondering about The Smurfs 2 for DS, it's 14.21 Pounds on Amazon.

EDIT: UK SKUs per console

360 - 19
PS3 - 10
3DS - 6
PC - 2
NDS - 1
WIIU - 1
WII - 1
 
01 (01) 360 MINECRAFT: XBOX 360 EDITION (MICROSOFT) - Over 9.432 (Under 16.558)
02 (NE) PS3 TALES OF XILLIA (NAMCO BANDAI GAMES) - Around 6.000
03 (03) 3DS ANIMAL CROSSING: NEW LEAF (NINTENDO)
04 (02) PS3 THE LAST OF US (SONY COMPUTER ENT.) - Over 4.210 (Under 5.713)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 (NE) PS3 TALES OF GRACES f (NAMCO BANDAI GAMES) - 5.000

In the all formats charts Tales of Xillia is below Fifa 13 and The Smurfs 2, so its sales must be very close to The Last of Us. It probably had a slightly better debut than Tales of Graces f.

Edit:
Xilia is in the 6000 ballpark
 
Is it regular practice to post the combined formats chart commentary with individual formats sales chart? The general view of the UK industry is to look at the combined formats sales as the 'true' top 40.

Xilia is in the 6000 ballpark
 
‘Animal Crossing: New Leaf’ (-16%) drops two places to No5, but this week outsells the critically acclaimed ‘The Last of Us’ (-25%) which has to settle for No6.
Am I missing something, or is AC on No.3 and TLOU on No.4?
I don't get it? ;(

Edit.:
Got it :)

It is on gaf because 1) we only get the combined commentary and 2) the concensus here is (IMO) that the individual charts offer better detail of a games performance.

Also thank you very much for your contributions to these threads :)
 
29 (__) 360 SAINTS ROW: THE THIRD - THE FULL PACKAGE (KOCH MEDIA)
Game of the generation. I hope everyone that contributed to this is blessed with good health and great fortune.

Dude, even I have a copy of Animal Crossing. That's frightening.

OK, it was gifted to me, but it's still frightening.

Do not fret, I'm (easily, I hate games like AC) resisting in your place, all is good :).

Sad to see Pikmin 3 dropping further :(.

6k for a game with zero advertising and apparently a limited shipment is impressive.
 
Minecraft should be higher than 10k especially as it went up in sales again this week.

Pretty quiet week. Nice high entry for Tales.

Anything of note coming out in the next few weeks?

According to MCV UK's release dates:

15 August: Pokemon Rumble U
16 August: Planes
23 August: Disney Infinity, Saints Row IV, The Bureau: XCom Declassified, The Wonderful 101, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist
27 August: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
30 August: Etrian Odyssey IV, Killer is Dead, Lost Planet 3, Madden NFL 25, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2, Port Royale 3: Gold Edition, Rayman Legends

Not sure how reliable they are on release dates...
 
23 August: Disney Infinity, Saints Row IV, The Bureau: XCom Declassified, The Wonderful 101, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist

Busy week. Pretty tempted to pick up Infinity even though it's going to cost a lot of money in the long run.
 
Do you guys know if we have units based charts or value based charts for other European countries like Italy or Germany? For France GFK only gives the value charts according to the Sell page.

Edit: which would mean the "units" in the OP for France need to be edited.
 
Man the charts are so dead. Need to see the gta5 bomb go off

That's not really interesting imo. We all know it's going to be at the top. The games we're not sure about are more interesting! Rayman Legends. TW101 and every other Wii U exclusive. Even Pokemon. I want to see surprises! :p

Very nice. Add to the fact TLoU is still a full price release. Didn't Bioshock (and TR) drop in price not too long after release?

So, currently, since June 14th, this should be the situation in UK
3DS better than PS3 better than 360. Am I correct?
 
Yea amazing last of us is holding for so long. Game is selling for full price at majority of places with the odd sale or two on newegg at least in the us. Majority of titles hit half price within the first month. even tomb raider was on sale for 35 like in a month and even earlier on pc. Sony really hit it off with this one. Congrats to them and naughty dog.

This fits my anecdotal experiences. A few friends / coworkers have mentioned to me that they bought a PS3 recently, after having a 360 for years. Most of 'em seem pretty happy too (presumably because the library is incredible if you're only just getting one).

I wonder if this will have any sort of effect on the next generation.

Definitely will have an effect. MS are done for in the UK. I could easily see PS4 outselling Xbone over here at around 2:1 until MS step back from their insane price and match PS+ in terms of content offerings.
