Charts: Call of Duty beats Battlefield

Last year saw a resurgence for the Call of Duty brand as Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 launched, but as expected Infinite Warfare was not capable of reproducing the same level of first week sales when the data from the UK charts have been collected (via GfK Chart-Track).

In fact, compared to Black Ops 3, sales are down a whopping 48.4 percent (43.6% if you factor out PS3/360 sales from last year). Still, the new game managed to beat arch rival Battlefield to the number one spot in this week's charts.

Elsewhere, Football Manager 2017 once again proved that it's not impossible for a PC title to have chart success, and Skylanders Imaginators surged thanks to a price reduction at a major retailer and TV promotions.
