London 2012 takes chart gold

Batman gets silver, Mario wins bronze.
Mike Holmes 13 August 2012

Sega will doubtlessly be toasting the success of London 2012 - The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games, after the sports title took top spot in this week's UK multi-format sales chart, for a third consecutive week.

There were no new entries in a chart that remains largely static. All games in top four remained as they were. The Amazing Spider-Man's release on PC meant a bump in sales, allowing the title to swing back into the top five.
