FIFA 12: Highest Grossing Sports Game Ever

In the UK that is, racking up an impressive fifth consecutive week as the UK Gaming Chart’s number one, and in the process making more money than any sports game before it on these shores.

This of course includes all previous FIFA titles as well as other sports franchises and it further re-enforces the series meteoric turn-around in sales over the last five years, especially in the UK.

With the FIFA Street release announced as March 13th today, EA SPORTS will no doubt be expecting good things from it’s rebooted brand and will hope it can get off to a successful start too.

With FIFA 12′s selling power seemingly unstoppable, who know’s when it will be knocked off the top of the UK Chart?

    Guys for the record there is zero Euro 2012 info atm not a sniff, I can’t even post a teasing wink smiley face because there’s been no noise what so ever.

    If there is going to be an announcement they won’t want it to damage FIFA Street so perhaps that’s why the silence?
