Four weeks on top for FIFA 15

There’s no stopping FIFA – EA’s soccer sim has successfully managed to fend off another week’s worth of new releases. Specifically, The Evil Within, F1 2014 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! Last week’s top trio did however all make the top 10. Available on formats new and old, The Evil Within did – rather unsurprisingly – …

Minecraft’s Steve storms the charts

Fable: Anniversary falls foul to FIFA

After being cut to £20 in-store at Tesco and on Amazon – and still available for that price at the time of typing – we anticipated GTA V to retake the top spot of the UK chart. That hasn’t happened, but FIFA 14 has managed to dislodge last week’s chart topper Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, …

Dragon Ball Z bounds into UK top ten

It would appear that Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z’s mediocre reviews haven’t harmed sales – the brawler has managed to enter the UK chart at a respectable #10. It’s at #7 in both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 charts, and #1 in the PS Vita chart. This just goes to show how popular …

And the UK’s Christmas number one is…

…FIFA 14. We guess the image above was kind of a giveaway. It’s EA’s first FIFA to become Christmas number one since FIFA 09, and the publisher’s 14th Crimbo numero uno since the chart began 28 years ago. Call of Duty: Ghosts is at #2 – Chart-Track claims that FIFA outsold it by a remarkable …

Need for Speed Rivals overtakes Gran Turismo 6

Call of Duty: Ghosts is the UK’s number one for the third week running and the fifth time since launch. It was very nearly toppled by FIFA 14 however, with just 600 copies between the two. A price drop to £22.49 at GAME has seemingly helped LEGO Marvel Super Heroes rise up from #6 to …

FIFA 14 is still the UK’s number one, but that hasn’t prevented Grand Theft Auto V from breaking yet another record – Chart Track reports that it has already outsold GTA IV’s lifetime UK sales.

GTA’s Franklin couldn’t fend off FIFA

If any mega franchise was going to be able to dislodge Grand Theft Auto V from the top of the UK chart after just one week, it was FIFA. And that’s exactly what has happened, even with sales of FIFA 14 down 24% that of FIFA 13. Chart-Track believes that’s “possibly due to all the …

See Messi dribble. Dribble, Messi, dribble

Here’s food for thought – will GTA V harm FIFA 14’s sales? The demographic between the two are rather alike, and GTA V is a mighty big game – some may hold off buying anything else until they’ve finished it. It has also been said that FIFA 14 won’t topple FIFA 13’s sales figures due …
