UK Top 40: FIFA 12 highest-grossing sports video game ever
Scores fifth week at number one.
FIFA 12 has now made more money in the UK than any other sports video game ever.
Naturally, that includes any other title in the FIFA series to date.
EA's annual footy fixture notched up a fifth consecutive week at number one this week, its seventh since launch.
Behind it lay Skyrim, continuing its rise up the chart and beating last week's number two, Just Dance 3, down to third.
Fourth and fifth places went to shooter rivals Call of Duty and Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3 just managing to finish ahead of its cheaper-priced rival.
A resurgent Saint's Row: The Third finished seventh, sandwiched between Zumba Fitness and Zumba Fitness 2.
Rayman: Origins also rose up the chart, finding itself in ninth, above Rage in tenth.
