The UK is one of the biggest video game markets in Europe so it comes as a surprise that less software for video game formats was sold in 2015 than it was in 2014. Software has tumbled 6% compared to the previous year. Interestingly both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One saw software sales increase by a large margin. Wii U software sales also slightly increased in 2015 but it was the decline in sales for older software such as that for Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 which pulled sales down. One thing to note is the figures provided are for retail, and not for digital, which is currently booming.
UK Top 5, 2015
- FIFA 16 (Electronic Arts) – 2,516,079
- Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Activision Blizzard ) – 1,928,813
- Fallout 4 (Bethesda Softworks) – 1,126,929
- Star Wars: Battlefront (Electronic Arts) – 1,018,884
- Grand Theft Auto V (Take-Two Interactive) – 998,726 / 6,010,432
Fifa sold the most in the U.K? Well colour me Unsurprised…
Fallout 4 is undeserving of that list. It’s glitchy and buggy, and has frame drops like you won’t believe! It’s really rushed and not good quality.
We in Europe like the south America love our footfall. I didn’t play any fifa since 2003 but I am glad to see fifa a front call of duty any time of the day.
We have read this like every month, it never changes.
Fookin’ casuals. lol jk Seriously tho. FIFA and CoD = Candy Crush for “men”. Tehe… (∗´꒳`)
