It’s Monday which means it is time to find out which games were the best-sellers last week in the United Kingdom. The big new entry this week for the Nintendo 3DS was Super Mario Maker which made its debut at number 25. Pokémon Sun & Moon both slipped further down the charts but thankfully they remain in the top ten.
An impressive launch for Square Enix’s ‘Final Fantasy XV’ means it debuts at No2 while ‘Fifa 17’ maintains its grip on the crown. Despite missing out on the top spot it’s a great start for Square’s beloved series. It ranks as the second best launch (by our market panel) behind 2010’s ‘Final Fantasy XIII’. ’Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’ makes way for the new release dropping a spot to No3. Familiar titles jostle for position with ‘Minecraft: Xbox Edition’ pushing back into the Top 10 at No10. The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim – Special Ed’ benefits from retailer promotions climbing six places to No11. Ubisoft deliver ‘Steep’ for PS4 and Xbox One with the snowboarding title making an impact at No24. In terms of Winter Sports titles it finds itself at No4 for week 1 panel sales just ahead of SSX Tricky. ‘Super Mario Maker’s dramatic surge back into the Top 40 is driven by the arrival of the 3DS version, which fires it back up to No25. Finally Take 2’s ‘Battleborn’ continues to climb up the All Formats chart, making its way to No40 following recent promotions.

Man GTA is STILL on the list, insane how popular it is.
Exactly how many hapless suckers bought it?
Like, with how watered down, as well as completely unnecessary, this port was, why would anyone get it?
More importantly why the sudden urge and push of Wii U games onto 3DS? It feels odd.
Why is FIFA 15 number #1? The game sucks and it’s the same garage from the past games. I know most people who owned this game are casual gamers, but they’re too retarded to realize it’s the same game, which makes them the sucker sheeps.
