Black Friday: Black Ops 3, Battlefront and Fallout 4 lose out to FIFA 16

FIFA 16 saw sales rise thanks to Black Friday

BLACK FRIDAY saw sales of FIFA 16 rise by a massive 254 per cent as the football game clawed its way back to the summit of the UK top 40 charts.

 

The discount-retail event saw a huge boost in game purchases, with the likes of Unchartered: The Nathan Drake Collection and Forza Motorsport returning to the top 10.

FIFA, which saw its price slashed to around £30, saw sales rise by 254 per cent, while Unchartered reportedly rose around 1000 per cent.

 

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 held firm during the sales

Gamers were also keen to snap up other big-name titles, with Fallout 4 and Black Ops 3 sales both up significantly.

However, EA space blaster Star Wars: Battlefront recorded a drop of 52 per cent which saw it knocked off top-spot by FIFA, with Rise of the Tomb Raider also falling.

As expected, Halo 5: Guardians was a big hit with shoppers as the bundle-friendly title saw sales rise by nearly 200 per cent.

The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 also saw an increase after undergoing their first proper Black Friday discount, with sales up by 8 per cent.
