Fourth place also goes unchanged, with Batman: Arkham City fending off The Amazing Spider-Man, which rose from number seven to number five thanks to the 15 percent boost in sales that accompanied the launch of the PC version.

The scarcity of new releases meant London 2012 retained the top spot even with a 9 percent decline in sales. Sales of Mario & Sonic's Olympic tie-in likewise sank 9 percent , while Lego Batman 2 sales dipped 20 percent.
