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

It's expected that CoD will always be number 1 because of its hype and such.

This game is like a girl. Sometimes girls are happy, sometimes they are mad at absolutely nothing whatsoever..

This game sometimes is good and I play really well, and then sometimes its absolutely terrible and I just want to throw it through a wall
