It’s been interesting to watch Bethesda’s avalanche of success destroy anything in its path. Their latest victim is an unbroken 8-year record in the UK. According to GFK Chart-Track, a software sales tracker in the UK, Skyrim has become the first title in 8 years to top holiday sales charts that was not produced by Electronic Arts or Activision. It all started in 2003, when EA released Medal of Honor: Rising Sun. Ever since, the Christmas charts have been topped by an EA or Activision title: Need For Speed: Underground 2 (2004), Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005), FIFA ‘07 (2006), Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007), FIFA ‘09 (2008), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009), and Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010). ![]()
1. The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Poor EA has dropped all the way to the 4th spot. Also, in case you were wondering, the last non-EA-or-Actision title to take the number one spot was Grand Theft Auto: Vice City back in 2002. By Josh Engen |
