The latest iteration in the FIFA series, FIFA 17 released in the UK last week and has achieved the highest launch sales of any FIFA title, ever.
Sales of FIFA 17 were up 18 per cent year-on-year. High enough that it overtook FIFA 13 as the highest selling FIFA game of all time in launch week.
53 percent of copies were sold on PS4, whilst 41 percent of copies were sold on Xbox One. The Xbox One S had a bundle, which still wasn’t enough to get it over the line in software sales.
Oh and FIFA17 had a record launch, beating the prior record set by FIFA13 which went on to sell well over 15m worldwide
