Call of Duty: Black Ops II

This Week's UK X360 Top 20 Charts
Written Monday, December 24, 2012 By Lee Bradley
View author's profile

Call of Duty: Black Ops II has kept the top spot for the sixth week running, making it this year’s UK Christmas number one.

Here’s some interesting chart factlets:

  • There have been almost 30 different games in the top spot of the all format charts this year
  • Bethesda is the only publisher to publisher in the last decade to displace EA and Activision from Christmas number one. That was for Skyrim last year.
  • This year’s number two, Far Cry 3, saw a whopping sales increase of 68 per cent week-on-week, thanks to a price reduction.
  • There was a 15 per cent increase in total retail sales last week, presumably because that's when Father Christmas goes shopping.

Full charts below.

It's impressive how Skyrim has managed to stay in the top 10 for almost 60 weeks. That surely deserves an applause!

Oh, and I'm glad Lego LotR is high up on the list too. Such a good and funny game(seriously, you must try out the Mithril Disco Phial!).

I have every single game on this list in my stocking at home. I'm so excited I have to tell people.

I know I shouldn't have peeked but I waited until my parents were out of the house (I think they went to a Christmas mixer or something, at least that's what they said when they tucked me in last night).

I excitedly (but sneakily, as I'm not an idiot!) stole into their bedroom (even though I'm never allowed to go in there usually) and stood on a chair so I could get onto the top shelf and see what the sketch was. Obviously, I had to use the big chair from downstairs, as my massive Cheeto loving 400-pound frame usually proves too weighty for a stool.

I had to move some gifts out of the way (I think my little brother is getting one of those wands off of Harry Potter, at least that's what I think it was as it was the same shape and I could see where you put the batteries in and everything - I'm not going to tell him though as that will be a nice surprise).

In addition to the games listed above, there was also Resident Evil 6. At least, I think it was Resident Evil 6 - it was already wrapped up in some soldier paper.

I'm also getting a years subscription to 'That's Life!' and a POG slammer off my nan.

The only problem now is, they found out (yeah, I know, I said I was being careful, but I left some lemon Sherbert at the scene of the crime and they just KNEW). That's where you guys all come in - I don;t think it's right that a 31 year old man should get grounded at Christmas (of all times!) and have the threat of maybe not getting all the presents I asked Father Christmas for, so I'm looking for an alibi - could one of you please speak to my Dad and tell him we were playing Black Ops 2 online so it couldn't possibly be me that went through their 'special' wardrobe?

Please?

@6 Merry Christmas Lee :)

I probably shouldn't say this in front of the guys, but you're definitely my favorite contributor to the site. Whenever I'm feeling a little blue I've taken to reading your excellent expose on Halo 4s Promethean Classes and Weapons (You know the one, you posted it on September 12th this year - 'The Prometheans. They're a nasty bunch' - still gives me tingles!).

Keep up the good work in 2013!

@9 My personal Lee highlight when he stuck his middle finger up to maths. He gave a big fuck you! To logic, when giving far cry 3 90% in the 4 subcategories then giving it an overall score of 93%.

What a guy. Have a mince pie on me.

@10 Sadly, I am.

I can't believe I got grounded this close to Christmas. I'm trying to decide whether or not it's worth storming into the living room and losing my shit over it - Mother has the ladies from the WI over for her annual pre-Xmas coffee morning and I know that if I make a scene she will cave in and let me play on the drive on my big wheel with the guys from the neighbourhood.

@13 I smell sour grapes from someone whose parents don't love them enough to buy them the top 20 games, as according to Charttrack for Christmas!

FYI, baselessly calling someone a troll is against the ToS for the site. I've even wished the contributor Merry Christmas for heavens sake.

I downloading updates for Wii U. I have Wii U now not tomorrow because easy to get downloading updates today rather then do it in christmas day because might be frustrate if update downloading stop working or something else. Anyway my Wii U is on and downloading a update.

I am glad Far Cry 3 and Hitman: Absolution is sitting top 3 place. COD Black Ops II of course will be alway top until Dead Space 3, Crysis 3, Tomb Raider, Gears of War Judgement or other Xbox 360 games will killing COD Black Ops II for place 1st charts. hehehehe

@11 His math was/is correct on reviews. What's wrong is your assumption that the overall review score is based on the average of the subcategories, and it's not.

what makes me sad is that is why ea and activision are makingthis into a monopoly as they are buying up all the software houses and putting their name on every game :(

we need more diverse publishing houses to help make this industry thrive more

@34, allot of people hate the idea of a staple game taking up all of the limelight, to be something so mundane as another milked CoD game, without any change yet again, as the number 1.
You play it because you enjoy it, others will too, but you'll only enjoy it for so long before you also realise you've payed for the same thing time and again when you look back.

That being said, it is each to their own, It's just a shame to see better game's get over looked by something that makes gamers seem like idiot's.

CoD's days are coming to their end, unless they pull something new up for the next generation, then the series will die off.
For those who enjoy it, enjoy it, but don't fool you're self of it being a god game, it's a popular game because anyone can play it, at the end of the day.

Happy Christmas to all, hope you find what you all where after under you're tree's ^-^

@35 Cod is the same thing basically every year. But I enjoy it every year. I agree with you though. This guy though is just dumb. I should get banned from games because I like COD. That's absurd.

@36 Says the guy without a gamertag. Troll

Black Ops 2 at number one spot!? Why i,m not even slightly supriced!? LOL! This not means its a bad game bust honestly i found MOH Warfighter a much more enjoyable ride then the Black Ops 2 campaign. Okay its obvious that this game has been picked by the millions of mindless COD fans for its erm..awesome..ugh! MP! And what about all these modern warfare shooters anyways? I wish for a realy good WWII game again, because as much i liked the modern warfare stuff its coming to a point now when i see one..ugh another one!? Why!? At least Far Cry 3 made it in the list aswell Skyrim so my believe in gamers that actualy do care about different games is not faded yet.

On the other other hand, stop bitching at the game just because it's a CoD. If a different company made this and it wasn't a CoD game, you'd all love it and play it while having fun. I understand everyone has their own opinion, but the developers worked hard on this game, and all they're asking of you is to enjoy what they put out. How'd you like it if you worked hard on a game and a lot of people hated it? You'd be hurt on the inside, so don't deny it.
