Grant Theft Auto V remains Rockstar's golden goose as it outsold FIFA 20 in EMEAA region, where one would expect the latter to prevail. This refers to digital sales but total sales have a slightly different story to tell.

By now there's no doubt that Infinity Ward and Activision knocked Call of Duty: Modern Warfare out of the park, and the last week of retail in the UK only reinforced this fact. Fending off FIFA 20 in these months is nothing to be smirked at.

We've exactly one week left before we wave goodbye to 2019 and the shopping madness is well upon us. Activision and Infinity Ward will be finishing the year on a high, with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare fending off FIFA 20 and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

It's that time of the year when Sony acknowledge the best performing titles on PlayStation, be they indie gems, VR standouts, best-sellers or simply chosen by PlayStation owners to best represent their beloved platform. So, a lot.

EA Sport's football simulation FIFA 20 and Infinity Ward's shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare are placed first and second respectively on UK physical sales charts for the week ending on 30 November 2019.-

Black Friday sales have started, and already, there are some sweet discounts on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Let's take a look at the best ones.

Superdata's recent report revealed that gamers are spent $6.5 billion in Q3 2019 on in-game purchases on PC but that only accounts for 49% of players. The rest avoided microtransactions altogether, despite FIFA 20 and NBA 2K20 releases.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare topped the UK charts second week in a row, surprising no one. Luigi's Mansion seems to have topped expectations though, becoming the fastest Switch game of 2019.

EA's shining jewel in the loot box crown, FIFA Ultimate Team, saw a 22 per cent unique player increase year-on-year, despite all the loot box condemnation. Considering that money talks, it may still be a long while until the gaming industry rids itself of surprise mechanics.

FIFA games have been one of the best and most reliable EA cash cows for a while now, and judging by FIFA 20's first few weeks - it's far from done. The only newcomer is Codemasters' racing title Grid, which debuted in fifth place.
