UK top 40: FIFA denies Rage, Dark Souls
But newcomers debut strongly.
Phenomenally popular football game FIFA 12 has beaten strong opposition from newcomers Rage and Dark Souls this week to remain top of the UK all-formats software chart.
FIFA 12 sales dipped 68 per cent, but its weekly tally was still big enough to be crowned the 13th highest ever in the UK.
Rage entered second, with 58 per cent of sales on Xbox 360 and 32 per cent on PS3. PC numbers weren't disclosed, but digital sales aren't counted by Gfk Chart-Track anyway.
Dark Souls entered third, with 58 per cent of sales going to PS3 - the platform to which Demon's Souls belonged.
From fourth to 10th are: Gears of War 3, F1 2011, Zumba Fitness, Dead Island, Deus Ex, Lego Pirates and Resistance 3.
NBA 2K12 was the other newcomer this week, and finished 12th.
