UK Game Charts; Tomb Raider, SimCity, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, The Sims 3: University Life, FIFA 13

The Top 4 all fought for the Number 1 Spot this week but, ultimately, Tomb Raider won out. if SimCity wasn't besieged by connectivity issues and sales continued steady then it may have become number 1. i expect that if online sales from Origin were included it would have been the UK number 1 this week. Tomb Raider outsold Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 on both PS3 and Xbox 360 on it's way to number 1. it's also been a long time since we had two PC exclusives in the top 4.
