FIFA 13 overtakes Black Ops II to regain UK sales crown

FIFA has reclaimed its crown as the UK’s most successful video game.

FIFA 13 has surpassed 3m unit sales in the UK, according to GfK Chart-Track. That means it has now outsold Call of Duty: Black Ops II over the last 12 months.

The Call of Duty series has been the No.1 selling franchise for the previous three years. In fact, with Mario games the top sellers in 2007 and 2008, we haven’t had FIFA as the No.1 games series since 2006.

FIFA has been the best-selling game for five out of the last 17 years. It is the UK’s best-selling franchise of all time.
