FIFA 14 MAINTAINS TOP FORM INTO 2014

06/Jan/2014

It might be a new year, but there is very little change this week in the All Formats Chart with the Top 7 all non-movers.

'FIFA 14' (-48%) scores its 6th week at the top, matching its predecessor, which was also No1 this week last year. Compared to the same week last year, sales of 'FIFA 14' are 21% up versus 'FIFA 13', no doubt boosted by the new formats. 'Call of Duty: Ghosts' (-55%) remains at No2, selling 4,000 more units this week than 'Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag' (-50%) at No3. 'Grand Theft Auto V' (-64%) is currently the 4th biggest selling game ever in the UK and if sales remain strong it could well become the biggest selling game of all time within the next 3 months. The only changes to the Top 10 are 'Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition' (-42%) at No8 swapping places with 'Just Dance 2014' (-60%) at No9.

All next gen games have gone up besides Killzone and Knack.
Plus that 360 domination is still strong.

Eight PS4 games and seven Xbone games in the top 40. PS4 seems to be doing quite better than Xbone looking at the rankings.

No WiiU or Vita games, two 3DS games at the very bottom. The rest PS3 and 360.

It's clear the UK favours Sony and MS's home consoles.

Go Aliens: Colonial Marines!

Man, UK really does not like Mario.

PS4 seems too be still tracking well from what I can tell.

Aliens: Colonial Marines is above Pokemon X and  Y lol noooooooooooooooooooo

Sometimes it seems like they just buy any shooter they see...

Wow at Fifa on PS4 being the best selling game overall this week, really looks like PS4/X1 are "crashing" already like a certain someone said. :D

Well, I only can say Nintendo is facing a big trouble in UK.

360 still kicking ass.
