Black Ops 2 reigns for sixth week in UK to capture Xmas No 1 spot

4.7
Let's face it, it was going to take a Christmas miracle to knock Call of Duty Black Ops 2 off the festive top spot in the UK charts. Despite a valiant but not quite miraculous effort from Far Cry 3, which saw an 86 percent rise in sales on the back of meaty holiday discounts, the latest CoD ruled the roost once more to become this year's Xmas No 1, as well as the only game to top the UK charts for six weeks in a row in 2012.

That near-doubling of Far Cry 3 sales helped the open-world shooter leap over Hitman: Absolution into second place. Otherwise it's much as you were for the UK's penultimate sales week, with the same collection of top ten games playing a very restrained, possibly hungover version of Musical Chairs.

Top 10 UK Software Sales (All Formats); week ending December 22:
Call of Duty Black Op 2
Far Cry 3
Hitman: Absolution
FIFA 13
Just Dance 4
Need for Speed: Most Wanted
Assassin's Creed 3
Halo 4
Lego The Lord of the Rings
WWE '13

Gotta say, now that I've been playing, the game isnt half bad. Given that it needs some improvements but, overall its decent :)

They Maybe Halo will get more play from the Christmas noobs to get a higher spot on the list.


I'm hoping so

SovietRussia It's expected that CoD would have won. Just think about the tens of thousands of people "Christmas noobs" getting the game just now.


I agree, can't wait for all of the Christmas noobs to be getting on and making getting those god forsaken gold camo's a little easier.
