No surprise as FIFA 15 climbs to the top of the UK charts in its opening week. In fact, FIFA 15 accounted for 80% of all unit sales last week and 87% of the revenue. It's difficult to compare to last year's premiere as the new-gen versions arrived later in the year, but the opening week is said to be +15% (units) and +23% (revenue) if the first weeks of FIFA 14 on Xbox One and PS4 are added opening week is pretty flat compared to last year. Notable is however, that new-gen consoles accounted for 54% of sales this year, while (360/PS3) pulled in 45% - which doesn't leave much for the other versions on PC, PS Vita, Wii and 3DS.

A little bit further down the chart we find new entry Level 5's 3DS title Fantasy Life in number 8 and we also bring you the top ten individual formats chart and you'll notice FIFA 15 sells best on PS4 followed by Xbox 360, Xbox One and PS3.
