UK Chart: Black Ops II still best selling game

Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops II makes it five consecutive weeks at number one in the UK chart compiled by rampaging chart fiends Chart Track. Sales of the shooter were up 14% on last week, keeping it ahead of Hitman: Absolution despite the bald assassin enjoying a 91% hike in sales.

With no new entries in the top 20 this week, the line-up is a shuffling of the pack and there’s not a whole lot to mention. However, it’s noteworthy that the only Wii U exclusive in the entire top 40 is Nintendo Land, which just scrapes in at number 39, five places behind the Vita exclusive Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified.

Here’s the Top 20 UK software chart in full:

1. Call of Duty: Black Ops II

2. Hitman Absolution

3. FIFA 13

4. Just Dance 4

5. Far Cry 3

6. Assassin’s Creed III

7. Halo 4

8. Need for Speed Most Wanted

9. Lego Lord of the Rings

10. WWE ‘13

I don't have the energy to really hate anything properly. Most things I think are OK or inoffensively average. I do love quite a lot of stuff as well, though.
