FIFA takes the Christmas No1 – I give up on games…

The final week of the year sees EA’s ‘FIFA 14’ (-31%) remaining at No1, taking a 5th week since launch as the top-selling software title, one more week than ‘FIFA 13’ last year – the difference being that ‘FIFA 14’ claimed the Christmas No1 this year (last week) whereas last year it was taken by ‘Call of Duty: Black Ops II’ in week 51, 2012.  Activision’s ‘Call of Duty: Ghosts’ remains at No2 (-24%) but is less than 2000 units behind ‘FIFA 14’ and has also taken 5 weeks at No1 since launch.  Ubisoft’s ‘Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag’ (-15%) remains at No3 having taken the top spot once back at launch (wk44) but has never been out of the Top 5.  EA’s ‘Battlefield 4’ remains at No4 for a 3rd consecutive week (-11%) having debuted at No2 in the same week as ‘Assassin’s Creed IV’.  Rockstar/Take 2’s ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ has been climbing for the past 3 weeks and moves back in to the Top 5 at No5 (-5%).
