<p>As we settle back into our old routines and wipe away a tear as we remember the Christmas before, it is important to note that developers and publishers spent the entire month of December with their fingers crossed, hoping they would be featured on Christmas lists across the world. How did they do? Let&#8217;s find out!</p>
<p>Unsurprisingly, the best selling game was Call of Duty: Black Ops II although it is surprising to note that both Madden NFL 13 and NBA 2K13 also featured in the list.</p>
<p>As always, this time courtesy of Neogaf user &#8220;Nirolak&#8221;, we have included the top ten list below:</p>
<ol>
<li><span style="line-height: 12.981481552124023px;">Call of Duty: Black Ops II</span></li>
<li>Just Dance 4</li>
<li>Halo 4</li>
<li>Assassin&#8217;s Creed III</li>
<li>Madden NFL 13</li>
<li>Far Cry 3</li>
<li>NBA 2K13</li>
<li>Skylanders Giants</li>
<li>New Super Mario Bros. 2</li>
<li>FIFA 13</li>
</ol>
