UK Sales Chart: Advanced Warfare Debuts in 1st, is Only the 5th Biggest Call of Duty Launch Ever

Putting an end to FIFA 15’s stay at the top, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare easily finished in first place, besting the week 1 sales posted by Call of Duty: Ghosts. However, Advanced Warfare is just the 5th biggest Call of Duty launch in the series overall.

Looking at Titanfall, Destiny, and Wolfenstein – three other big first-person shooters from this year – Advanced Warfare’s week 1 sales beat all three of them combined by almost 14%.

It was a fairly slow week everywhere else with Call of Duty getting the most attention, though retailer promotions did help push Alien: Isolation all the way up to 4th.

Here’s the top 20 selling retail games in the UK for the week ending November 8, 2014, according to GfK Chart-track:

1. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
2. FIFA 15 (down 20%)
3. Football Manager 15
4. Alien: Isolation (up 120%)
5. Destiny (up 3%)
6. Minecraft: PlayStation Edition (down 41%)
7. Skylanders Trap Team (up 6%)
8. Sunset Overdrive (down 61%)
9. The Evil Within (down 44%)
10. Minecraft: Xbox Edition (up 9%)
11. Forza Horizon 2
12. Disney Infinity 2.0 (up 10%)
13. WWE 2K15

15. Watch Dogs
16. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
17. Super Smash Bros

Do you think Assassin’s Creed Unity will finish in first place? Do you think Rogue will debut in the top 10?
