FIFA 12 takes top spot in UK chart

EA's football juggernaut shoots straight to number one after the third-biggest launch of all time; Team Ico collection debuts in seventh.

FIFA 12 is the new number one in the UK all-formats software chart, as last week's number one Gears Of War 3 drops back to second place.

EA's football title enjoyed the third-biggest launch week in history, beating FIFA 11's launch-week sales by 11 per cent, outselling Grand Theft Auto IV and beaten only by Call Of Duty Black Ops and Modern Warfare 2.

This week's top ten contains only one other new entry, with Sony's PS3-exclusive Ico & Shadow Of The Colossus Collection a pleasing sight at number seven. Further down, X-Men: Destiny debuts in 18th, with Ubisoft's Dance Juniors in 24th spot, and the PS3 release of Tetsuya Mizuguchi's Child Of Eden entering the chart at number 29.
