COD ENDS 2016 ON TOP

04/Jan/2016

The year ends with ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops III’ (-39%) comfortably rooted to No1, making it five weeks at the top in 2015, a record only beaten by ‘FIFA 16’ which managed six weeks.

There is also no change at No2 as ‘Star Wars Battlefront’ (-39%) remains popular, having stayed in the Top 3 since launch. ‘Fallout 4’ (-34%) finishes the year ahead of ‘FIFA 16’ (-54%), jumping one place to No3, while the phenomenally successful football game and biggest grossing game of 2015 has to settle for No4. ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ (-32%) is a non-mover at No5, while ‘Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6: Siege’ (-9%) moves back up to its highest ever chart position, climbing three places from No9 to No6. Ubisoft’s other Top 10 title, ‘Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate’ (-44%) holds on to No7 ahead of ‘Just Cause 3’ (-48%) at No8 and ‘WWE 2K16’ (-42%) at No9. ‘Forza Motorsport 6’ (-35%) keeps another Microsoft title, ‘Halo 5: Guardians’ (-36%) out of the Top 10 as both games climb two places with Forza charting one place ahead at No10.

Great week for Xbox Exclusive

Nice legs by Forza 6. Too bad no DLC track has showed up for it yet it will probably be like FM5 and the first one will not show up until February and the Porsche pack will probably not show up until April or later.

Wow, not a single Nintendo game on the list, on Christmas holydays no less. Nintendo really needs to do something about the UK.

do we have any software totals for any of the games?

Nice forza and Halo legs. I'm shocked Star wars is still os high since the movie already came out.And like Darwin said Nintendo ahs to do something to push hardware int he UK. Ps4 software is also doing good.

They can start by putting their games on mobile, the PS4 and Xbox one.

PS4: 17
XBO: 15
360: 6
PC: 1
PS3: 1

Seems like this will be the last holiday were last-gen has any relevance in the UK.
