| The Angry Birds trilogy? Really? Isn't it like, $40? Why pay that much when you can get the games on a smartphone for $0.99 each? Surprised it managed to make the top 20 at all. |

| @1 Because 1) Not all Parents have £600 for a Smartphone for their Kids, or even double that if they have more than one Child & 2) Because Kids love Angry Birds. It's one of the most Marketable Properties right now. I've lost count of the amount of kids i've seen walking around wearing AB T-Shirts & Plushies in their hands. It's a licence to print money for Rovio. THAT'S why it's in the Top 20. |

| As for Fifa 13, I bought in on Friday, and while it's not groundbreaking like Fifa 08 was (I mentioned Fifa 08, because it was the Fifa that started the turnaround in the PES vs Fifa Battles after PES ruled on the PS2) it's all about "If it ain't broke, improve it" & i'm impressed with the little touches, like the dribbling, first touch control & the Skill Challenges. The sheer amount of stuff to do Online always keeps me busy too. |

| Thought it was strange that Halo hasn't broke a million in it's first week but of course all the games that have are multiplatform. Great to see Fifa and especially borderlands 2 doing so well! Im around 15 hours in to borderlands 2 and while it isn't a huge leap ahead of the first it is still just as enjoyable as ever! Great game! |

| Its always the same every year, games like Fifa and Call of Duty at the top of the charts when they don't exactly bring anything new to the table, whereas games like Borderlands 2, Tekken and Darksiders are great games that deserve more recognition. Guess people are happy having the same old shit shovelled at them year after year. |

I knew FIFA 13 would be top. Nice to see Dead or Alive 5 and Angry Birds Trilogy reach in charts, both games I enjoyed them released last week.
Angry Birds Trilogy is very fun and addict game also it's much better then phone version. :) |

@13,14,15
Just because you don't like a certain genre of game doesn't mean it sucks, the reality is FIFA 13 is highly regarded as the best football game on the market. I don't like racing games but can appriciate the time spent on it to make a quality game, you have a right to an opinion and if you do not like fifa thats cool. But i certainly would disagree with you when you say "It sucks" like i said you don't have to like football games but surely you should appriciate the time and effort that has Clearly gone into making it. There is a reason that Fifa continues to outsell every game going besides COD and that is due to the fact the team behind it work hard and deliver a great product year after year. Fifa is awesome =) |

@20
The team behind Fifa 13 is around 300 people, it took over 1 and a half years to make (and there is a dedicated team still supporting the game now after release) Thats a lot of man hours. |

@21 Look at what's different in the new game, nothing. Literally; also have a look at this I think you'll find this most interesting.

@25 couldnt have worded it better myself
@16 so now were not allowed to have an opionion or dislike games? we have to respect and charish every video game that hits the market? yeah gosh now it all makes sense now i guess we should all just charish every single game because someone put some time into making it, i guess were all entitled to respect every movie now too? |

| @16 I VERY highly doubt your comment about FIFA outselling every video game franchise short of CoD, maybe in the UK and Europe but North America and the countrys with the biggest video game markets in Asia could really care less about football, thus i find your statment highly unlikely just saying. |

@DetroitRedWings - I can't take your argument seriously when you have a username like that. Sorry.
@DeepInfern0 - For someone who doesn't care about this game you sure know a lot about it. That or you have nothing better to do with your time. |

@25 & 26
Im not starting an arguement here guys, its just that i thought "fifa sucks" was a bit harsh. Coming from a fan of the series I like a lot of the minor improvements made. As somebody else has said they seem to adopt the idea of "if it isn't broke, improve it" they cant recreate the wheel every year that would be impossible. Also i did state that your comment is your opinion and you are intitled to it in my Previous comment if you read through it. As for the sales I was speaking about the UK sales not world wide, as it says in the article above "It’s an exclusive club. The only other games to hit one million after one week on sale in the UK are Call of Duty: Black Ops, Modern Warfares 2 and 3 and FIFA 12." If you think it sucks thats fine, personally i think it is the best FIFA to date. When a game becomes a yearly franchise it's more about improving a trusted formula more reinventing the series in my opinion. You dont have to cherrish every game etc but try and find a more complete emersive football game, i doubt you will. PES used to be able to compete but not anymore. Thats it from me anyway apologies for the large paragraph but i was simy replieing to you guys and explaining my opinion. Nothing against you, we should all just get along =)
