UK Sales Charts: Grand Theft Auto V is the 4th Biggest Selling Game Ever in the UK

With no new retail releases, FIFA 14 held top spot in the UK charts, with the top 7 games all staying the same as the previous week, while also suffering major drops as the holiday season ends.

Despite the slow week, Grand Theft Auto V did achieve a major milestone as it is now the 4th biggest selling game ever in the UK. If sales manage to remain strong, GfK Chart-Track believes the game could very well be the biggest game ever in the region within the next three months.
