The 6 weeks of Pokemon X & Y dominance are over. It’s surprising to see that during a week when the newest Final Fantasy title debuts, it’s actually Super Mario 3D World for the 10 times less widespread Wii U console that is the bestselling game. Then again, it’s not so surprising after seeing all the 10/10 rave reviews and game-of-the-year nominations it’s been getting. Well done Mario.
