3 MINECRAFT: PLAYSTATION EDITION 4J STUDIOS

On PSN, that's borne out by a top sellers list reduced to fractured rubble by random sales and the summer lull, last week's best sellers include:

1 Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom
2 Day of the Tentacle Remastered
3 Ratchet and Clank Trilogy
4 Darkest Dungeon
5 Oddworld New & Tasty
