Surprising nobody, Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops II launched at the top of the UK sales charts last week, surpassing FIFA 13 (which sold 1.2 million in the UK over two days) to become the biggest video game launch of 2012. In terms of revenue Black Ops II is the second biggest launch of all time in the UK, however, it landed in fourth place behind Modern Warfare 3 in total first week unit sales.

For as well as Call of Duty: Black Ops II performed, the same could not be said of Black Ops Declassified. The Vita title released to extremely low review scores and a 16th place finish in the All-Formats chart.

Halo 4, last week’s top selling title, slide down a notch to 2nd place, followed by 2012′s other top selling titles FIFA 13 and Assassin’s Creed III.

Last week’s non-Call of Duty debut titles didn’t fair as well on the charts, with Sony’s Wonderbook: Book of Spells, Codemasters’ F1 Race Stars, and Sega’s Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed all failing to make it into the top 20.
