We love charts here at playerattack, and one of the highlights of our week is receiving the latest details from UKIE, who send us the 40 best-selling titles in Britain, as announced by the The Association for UK Interactive Entertainment.
This week we see the British Christmas #1 gaming title announced, and it’s not really a surprise at all. This one’s sold more than three million copies in the UK since launch – and joins only two other titles to have taken more than £100m in revenue (the other two? Modern Warfare 2 and Wii Fit). Congratulations, Call of Duty: Black Ops!
Michael Rawlinson, Director General of UKIE, commented:
“With over 11 million video games sold in the last four weeks in the UK, generating over £290m, they are clearly the gift of choice this Christmas, showing once again that the interactive entertainment industry is the UK’s leading creative industry. The Christmas chart also demonstrates the variety of choice on offer for consumers; there really is something for everyone.”
