As we are edging ever closer to Christmas there are a few new releases this week in the UK charts. The highest new entry this week was Mafia 3 for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 but it couldn’t fend off FIFA 17 which dominated the charts for another week. The recently released Paper Mario: Colour Splash ended up entering that charts at number 14. Here’s the best-sellers in the United Kingdom.

For some reason, even the TITLES of Playstation and Xbox games bores the crap out of me. Even though I like several Playstation games, and haven’t been quite as faithful to Nintendo as I’ve been in the past. Still, the very TITLES of Nintendo games looks more appealing than the titles of Playstation and Xbox games. That’s so odd. I guess I still have Nintendo flowing through my veins. My GOD the game industry would be boring without them! I probably wouldn’t even be a gamer.
Gosh… why do Nintendo games sell so awfully in UK?
I’m always wondering that. It’s like, how can people have such different tastes in games just because they live in a different country or region?
In more recent news, Volcanion is now being distributed via code at GameStops across the US.
I find it interesting how New Super Mario Bros. still sells well. I thought the series was dead at this point.
Dead? 2D Mario consistently outsells 3D Mario by millions.
Who wants to bet it’ll be out by the next time we get a list?
While I wish this game didn’t hit the top sales chart at all like it’s kin FedshitForce couldn’t accomplish, hopefully it will fall off the sales chart completely next week. If not, it looks like the Wii U is still being supported by a bunch of suckers.
