FIFA 14 tops UK charts despite 24 percent year-on-year drop
That gives you an idea of just how big a deal FIFA 14 is, although that's with a 24 percent drop in first week sales compared to last year's FIFA 13. Chart Track wagers the money spent on GTA V last week might be a factor, but we suspect FIFA 14 being a freebie with Xbox One Day One pre-orders in Europe has more to do with it.
Other games aren't stupid enough to take on the FIFA behemoth, especially a week after GTA V came out, so the rest of the charts is pretty quiet.
Top 10 UK Software Sales (All Formats); week ending September 28:
FIFA 14
Grand Theft Auto 5
Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition
Pro Evolution Soccer 2014
The Last of Us
Disney Infinity
Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Saints Row 4
Diablo 3
Rayman Legends

It hasn't overtook GTA people its just GTA V has been out a week longer meaning that obviously this week Fifa 14 sold more than GTA V. But in terms of total sales Fifa 14 are well behind.

ok,i play fifa but does it **** deserve to take over GTA V considering rockstar puts more effort into their game than EA do considering every fifa, every year is the same as the year before, this is stupid.

I'm not going to lie, FIFA 14 taking over GTA 5s spot is pretty phenomenal. It does make perfect sense because soccer (futbol) down in the UK is very, very popular.
