The Last of Us Nets First Place in UK Charts for Sixth Week

For the sixth consecutive week since launch Naughty Dog's PS3 exclusive The Last of Us has topped the UK charts despite sales declining by 22 per cent since last week.

Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition climbed from fifth to second place this week while Tecmo Koei's Dynasty Warriors 8 opened at number five. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. and Animal Crossing: New Leaf from Nintendo rounded out the five.

The top 40 saw a number of re-entries this week with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14 coming in at number 34 due to the recent Open. New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 also re-entered the chart at number 39 and 40 respectively.

The full top ten for this week is:

The Last of Us (1), Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition (2), Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. (3), Animal Crossing: New Leaf (4), Dynasty Warriors 8 (5), Far Cry 3 (6), Max Payne 3 (7), The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim (8), FIFA 13 (9), and Tomb Raider (10).  

The Last of Us has been a huge success for Sony selling more than 3.4 million copies so far and breaking records for the console. The game also helped the PS3 top the UK hardware chart for June. 

FIFA 13's position in ninth place is the lowest that game has been in the charts since it launched although it's not too long now until the release of FIFA 14.
