Will SEGA claim number one even after the Olympics is over?

We’re now halfway through the Olympics in London and SEGA continues to top the chart with London 2012: The Official Video Game. LEGO Batman 2 remains in second while another of SEGA’s Olympic inspired titles, Mario & Sonic at the London Olympics 2012 takes third. This week was fairly weak in terms of new releases as we find ourselves in the middle of the yearly gaming draught. This was reflected with news that the week ending the 29th was the worst in retail history. The only new release of the week, Risen 2 on consoles debuted in fourteenth.
