The people over at Gamasutra are reporting that Activision has claimed victory on the British all-format sales chart with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare taking first place. Check out what they have to say:
After a close-fought battle with Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed, Activision has claimed victory on the British all-format sales chart with Call of Duty 4
According to research group Chart-Track, the game is Activision's first UK Christmas all-format number one. Call of Duty 4's recent 53 percent rise in sales helped propel it to the top of the charts, pushing it almost 35,000 units ahead of Assassin's Creed, which slips to number two.
While Activision sees a holiday triumph, Electronic Arts, which, according to Chart-Track, has taken the Christmas all-format number one every year since Take-Two's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City took the spot in 2002, must settle for the third, fourth and fifth spots with The Simpsons Game, FIFA '08, and Need for Speed: ProStreet respectively.
