Morrisons
So 8 of the top 10 were games Morrisons were 'giving away' last week.
Re: Morrisons
Maybe so, but as it was highlighted last week morrisions market share is less than one percent and would only raise to about one percent last week, Also if 8 of the ten games were being given away at morrisions how many were beingvre-sold as new by indies does this count as a double sale for only one game being sold.
