Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 holds on at the top of the All Formats All Prices UK video game chart for a fourth consecutive week, – only the fourth game in 2012 to achieve this, after FIFA 12, FIFA 13 and LEGO Batman 2.
Far Cry 3 also holds on at No.2 in its second week, thanks to an impressive drop of only eight per cent. FIFA 13 is up 18 per cent at No.3, Just Dance 4 climbs to No.4 thanks to retailer promotions and Assassin’s Creed 3 is at No.5 with a 10 per cent sales increase.
Hitman: Absolution slides to No.6 with a 3 per cent dip in sales, followed by Halo 4 which climbs a place to No.7 thanks to retailer price promotions.
The heavily discounted WWE 13 is also back into the Top 10 at No.10, while Sonic & SEGA’s All-Star Racing Transformed continues to climb the chart to No.16 thanks to the PS Vita launch.
Nintendo’s Paper Mario Sticker Star is new at No.40.

Wii U software now only claims two places in the Top 40, with Nintendo Land at No.26 and New Super Mario Bros. U at No.36. Ubisoft’s ZombiU exits the Top 40 after only one week in the chart. Disney Epic Mickey 2 is a new entry at No.9 in the Wii U chart.
With nothing new coming to stores between now and Christmas the top places will be a fight between Black Ops 2 and whatever titles happen to be on sale in any particular week. GAME is discounting both Hitman: Absolution and Resident Evil 6 this week so expect both to jump up the chart this time next week.
