We love charts here at Player Attack, 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.
No question over what is #1 in the charts this week, as FIFA 13 sells more than a million copies on debut (that means it’s outsold FIFA 12 by 27% of units and 31% of revenue in opening week sales). Really, this is the start of something big: Week 39 reports an increase in sales across the board – nearly three times as many games and consoles were sold in this curtain-raiser for the impending holiday season.
Other big names this week: Mists of Pandaria at a none-too-shabby #4, Rocksmith‘s UK debut at #7 and Angry Birds Trilogy at #16.
