Go Saints. While I wish Batman would have stayed longer, at least Saints isn’t slowing down.

impressive for mw3, isn’t this the only CoD title to stay number 1 for 4 straight weeks from launch?

Funny top 3 games are those who are releasing every year.

@3, and 3 of them forgot about the quality. (Just Dance 3 obviously too)

Well, Justin Bieber is also the most popular singer too.

@Erthazus
Correction: Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga! Maybe the crazy people prediction are true and we will be doomed in 2012!?

FIFA 12 forgot about the quality? It’s probably the best in the series for about two or three years.

@3 Wow, now that you’ve mentioned it… This is really depressing. Games that actually took years to get made and weren’t super small updates have all dropped from the top 3 almost immediately (Batman, Saints, Skyrim). No wonder publishers are trying to annualize everything. People pay most for the same games that they played last year.

@6

To Erthazus, a game he has a personal dislike for is also one lacking in quality. Despite, y’know, everyone else in the world saying otherwise.
He’s always right, never forget that!

To be honest, I’m surprised he has time to post in between his games of MW3 (how fast will he reach 500 hours played??).

You people seem to forget that even if some games have dropped off, they’ve already sold millions and millions of copies.

I mean, did Batman already sell over 4 million? That’s probably up to 6 million by now. That games already paid for itself a few times over.

Who cares if it’s not above thrash like MW3 or Just Dance? Let the people who don’t know any better enjoy their boring toys, and just enjoy yours for the quality entertainment that you know it is.

@9, sorry but i like Call Of duty 1 that was developed in 2003 and it’s the best Call Of duty title in the series.
