This week it&#8217;s not anywhere to be found in the UK top 40. Ouch! So there we have it folks, UK consumers really don&#8217;t like buying cardboard kits it would seem.<\/p>\n<p>The bean counters over at PlayStation UK will no doubt be delighted by the excellent <strong>God of War<\/strong>\u00a0maintaining it&#8217;s first place supremacy.

Mainly because Wii U itself was doing so badly by that point. It&#8217;s great to see this game get the attention it deserves on Nintendo&#8217;s portable powerhouse.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the UK charts top 20 for your consideration:<\/p>\n<p>1.
