EA’s FIFA 12 climbs back to the top of the All Formats All Price UK video game chart, for a ninth week at No.1.
FIFA 12 has never charted outside the Top 5 in its 38 weeks on the chart, but last claimed the No.1 spot back in week 4 of this year. FIFA 11 only held on inside the Top 5 for 23 weeks during the equivalent 38 week period.
With little else hitting stores, Warner’s new IP Lollipop Chainsaw manages to chart at No.4, but who knows how many copies were needed this week to chart inside the Top 5.
Renewed stock of Activision Blizzard’s Diablo III allows the multi-million seller to climb up from No.22 to No.6.
Sony’s PS Vita exclusive Gravity Rush is the week’s only other new release, which charts at No.29.

We’re almost certain that LEGO Batman 2 will chart at No.1 next week, being the first game with universal appeal we’ve seen in many weeks.
Civ V expansion, Gods and Kings, is likely to perform well digitally, but we can’t see many players heading to stores to make their purchase.
