Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has trampled over all adversity to become the U.K.’s biggest-selling videogame of 2011, UKIE has confirmed.
The insanely popular military FPS toppled the likes of Battlefield 3 and FIFA 12 to take the crown, in news that is unlikely to come as a shock to anyone after it smashed entertainment records back in November.
Interestingly, Chart-Track’s Dorian Bloch noted that half of 2011’s overall revenue was generated by titles released in the fourth quarter of the year — in other words, during the busy holiday season.
In terms of multiplatform sales, Zumba Fitness, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations also performed well, with each one making it into the Top Ten for 2011.
Focusing on Sony’s flagship home console however, Modern Warfare 3 again came out on top as you’d expect, though Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception managed to make fourth on the list of best-selling PS3 titles of the year. Not too shabby.
