The Skyrim's the Limit
The run-up to Christmas means there are deals aplenty to be had at retail, none more so than Bethesda’s ‘Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’ which climbs from No5 to claim No1 for the first time, thanks to an average price reduction of around £13 compared to last week (+145%).
Skyrim debuted 5 weeks ago at No2 in the same week as ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’, which explains why it never made No1 at launch. Activision Blizzard’s aforementioned ‘Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3’ (-7%) drops to No2 after 4 straight weeks at the top and Ubisoft rise one place to No3 with ‘Just Dance 3’ (+67%) – the PS3 version is new this week, but the Wii version continues to account for a massive 89% of all sales on this title. EA drop 2 places to No4 with ‘FIFA 12’ (+24%) as do Ubisoft with ‘Assassin’s Creed: Revelations’, now No5 (-5%). EA’s ‘Battlefield 3’ climbs 3 places to No6 (+30%) and Nintendo claim a third straight week at No7 with ‘Professor Layton and the Spectre’s Call’ (+5%).
THQ drop 2 places to No8 with ‘Saints Row: The Third’ (-2%) and Sony’s ‘Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception’ climbs back in to the Top 10 at No9 after an absence of 3 weeks (+81%), thanks to some price promotional activity. Nintendo’s ‘Mario Kart 7’ completes the Top 10 (-1%), holding off the charge of Sega’s ‘Mario & Sonic London 2012 Olympic Games’ which remains at No11 (+16%).

Skyrim: strawberry float yeah!
Hopefully there will be a patch to resolve the worst problems for the PS3 owners of the lot before they get hit with performance issues.

At least Cod and Ass are heading the correct direction in the charts.

It's not any good, then?
I was going to pick it up on the cheap next year, but if it's not any good I won't bother.

I've heard that it's basically AssCreed 2 or Brotherhood again. If you're sick and tired of that, you won't like it.

Oh so you've not played it?
I've got it and it's really good.

It's a really good game, so bizarre design decisions but overall I love it.

So it's like Ass Creed 2.65 or something? (If Brotherhood is 2.5).
I'm fine with that, but not so soon after Brotherhood. Summer draught, maybe.

Pretty much. Constantinople is really good city to play around, better than Rome IMO.

Layton outsells modern warfare PS3. Seriously what the hell? Nintendo needs the 3DS version out asap if its this popular.

What do you mean that time of year?
Yes, yes, I've spotted my mistake.

Unfortunately the 3DS version is probably at least a year away, given the speed they work at
At least by the time it's out over here there'll be a lot more 3DSs out in the wild.

Which would push back Layton versus Wright further

Super Mario 3D Land is fading faster than I expected. Perhaps a sign of the small 3DS userbase in this country.
