Last week was a major week for new video game releases, but it should come as no surprise thatCall of Duty: Modern Warfareended up being the biggest launch of the week.
Over in the UK,Call of Duty: Modern Warfareended up being the top-seller on the weekly video game sales chart, to the shock of absolutely no one.Modern Warfarewill likely be the best-selling game for the entirety of 2019 once it’s all said and done, meaning that it will likely sit highly on the chart here for awhile.
By comparison to last year’sCall of Dutytitle,Black Ops 4,GamesIndustry.biz reportsthatModern Warfaresold 39% more copies at retail compared to its predecessor. This wasn’t enough to top the physical launch week sales ofCall of Duty: WWII, but with digital sales being accounted for, both releases are said to be very close to one another.
Following behindModern Warfareon the week was that ofFIFA 20, which is almost always near the top of the charts in the UK. New releases inWWE 2K20,The Outer Worlds, andMediEvilthen rounded out the top five spots for the week. We’ll have to see if these new releases end up having staying power on the UK sales chart as we continue to move forward.
