Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 sees off Assassin's Creed: Revelations to retain the number one spot in the UK All-Formats charts for the second week. Meanwhile Ubisoft's latest instalment stealthily surpasses Skyrim to claim second place.

Demonstrating the financial staying power that has become the hallmark of the
Call of Duty series, its no surprise that Modern Warfare 3 remains on top of
the chart for a second week.
Outdoing last year's blockbusting Black Ops by a tidy $125 million, this years
edition of Activision's franchise netted more than $775 million, earning it
the title of bestselling entertainment release of all time, let alone video
game.
Further down the table, Assassin's Creed, Saints Row: The Third and the
anniversary edition of the classic Halo: Combat Evolved are all new entries
this week in the build up to Christmas. While FIFA 12 clings onto a spot in
the top 5, EA's supposed CoD killer, slips down into 8th clearly
demonstrating that there is only room for one juggernaut in the FPS market.
With almost half of the table new releases this week, competition has been
stiff resulting in many games falling out of the top 20.
