According to a UKIE report, COD: Black Ops was the biggest selling game in UK in 2010.
Activision’s money minter ranked top of the charts in both PS3 and Xbox 360 charts but was not even featured in the top 5 of the PC one.
FIFA 11 came in second and EA’s franchise remains strong as ever.
“2010 was another strong year for the video games industry, with record breaking sales figures from games such as Call of Duty: Black Ops,” said UKIE boss Michael Rawlinson.
“2010 also saw casual gaming really take off, particularly on social networking sites and on mobile phones. With more video games than ever before being played, on an ever growing range of games consoles, PCs, mobile phones, mobile devices and internet enabled TVs, the industry has widened beyond all expectations and will continue to expand exponentially in 2011.”
