UK chart: FIFA 13 sells 1 million copies in a week

Annual football fiesta FIFA 13 has sold a million copies during its first week on sale in the UK.

It becomes the fourth game in history to do this, following Call of Duty titles Black Ops, Modern Warfare 2 and 3.

Video game sales jumped by 196 per cent in the past seven days. FIFA 13 accounted for 71 per cent of all games sold and 80 per cent of all revenue from game sales - both of these figures are higher than last year.

Borderlands 2, last week's chart champion, fell into second place.

World of Warcraft expansion Mists of Pandaria ambled into fourth place (it's worth remembering, as usual, that UK numbers company Chart-Track does not count digital sales).

The pandas arrived ahead of other new releases Rocksmith (seventh), Dead of Alive 5 (11th), Angry Birds Trilogy (16th) and Gran Turismo 5 Academy Edition (17th).

Last week also saw the release of new hardware in the shape of Sony's new super slim PlayStation 3. The 500GB monster gave PS3 sales a 138 per cent boost on last week, and accounted for 37 per cent of all PS3s sold.
