Even though a bunch of new games have been released since September, FIFA 13 has secured the top spot of the UK gaming charts.
For the first week of 2013, the football (soccer) game managed to crawl its way back to the top spot after Black Ops II managed to knock it off the number 1 position back in November. Black Ops II had to settle for third place this week with Far Cry 3 holding on to second place.
FIFA 13 is likely to stay on the UK charts for the majority of 2013 until the inevitable FIFA 14 comes out later this year. FIFA 12 managed to be one of the top selling games of 2012 in the UK despite it being released in September 2011. We can expect the same type of thing to happen with FIFA 13 too.
