Here’s the Tomb Raider TV commercial starring none other than Lara Croft.

To recap the top games per system:

  • BioShock Infinite debuts atop the Xbox 360 & PS3 charts.
  • Luigi’s Mansion 2: Dark Moon jumps to numero uno on the 3DS chart.
  • SimCity 2013 stays on first place on the PC chart.
  • Just Dance 4 rocks the 1st place on the Wii chart.
  • The Sims 3 University Life reappears as #1 on the Mac chart.
  • Pokemon Black & White Version 2 get caught as #1 on the DS chart.
  • Lego City: Undercover debuts on the Wii U charts.
  • Lastly, Persona 4 Golden remains on the PS Vita chart.

Since last month PS2 & PSP game sales are no longer being tracked. But for years now 90% of the time they consisted out of all the Kingdom Hearts games appearing on the #1 spot on both classic PlayStation platforms, so it’s not like you’re missing out with no new games being released for them anymore.
