UK Videogame Charts: Minecraft Creeping up on Last of Us

The Last of Us has taken Number 1 on the UK videogames charts for a sixth consecutive week, despite a 22% drop in sales. This puts it on a par with the chart-topping runs of Black Ops II and FIFA 12 - no mean feat for platform exclusive.

Minecraft has scrambled back up to Number 2 with a 20% sales boost, while Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. holds steady at Number 3 ahead of Animal Crossing: New Leaf at Number 4.

Of Dynasty Warriors 8's debut at Number 5, Chart-Track tells us, "The latest instalment places 4th in the series best launch weeks behind Dynasty Warriors 6, 7 and Dynasty Warriors 5 - Empires."

Discussing the the lower end of the Top 10, the organisation explains: "Ubisoft remain at No6 with Far Cry 3 (+4%) while retailer promotions for Max Payne 3 (+135%) see it climb nineteen places to No7. Strong sales for The Elder Scrolls V: Legendary Edition (+31%) by Bethesda push it back into the Top 10 at No8. With the next edition on the horizon EA’s FIFA 13 (-43%) slips to its lowest position since launch (week 39 2012) dropping from No4 to No9. Square Enix round of the Top 10 with Tomb Raider (-10%) sliding a spot to No10."
