FIFA 13 takes residency at the all formats games chart summit

EA's football franchise proves its all-conquering popularity once again.

It’s no doubt already favourite to be topping the all formats chart at Christmas, and sure enough FIFA 13 has immediately settled into premier position after its first week of sales, knock off 2K’s Borderlands in the process.

Elsewhere it’s been a good, but not great week, for Activision Blizzard as its World of Warcraft expansion Mists of Pandaria debuts at fourth, while Ubisoft’s excellent guitar trainer Rocksmith does well to make its mark in seventh.

Predictions for next week: Resident Evil 6, but will it outsell FIFA?
