Nintendo and Sony game consoles are the best sellers, FIFA 22 tops the European game sales charts

According to statistics recently shared by Christopher Dring, head of GamesIndustry, in 2021 in Europe, Nintendo and Sony will occupy the top positions of the game console sales in various countries, and the best-selling game is FIFA 22.

According to Christopher Dring, this year’s Nintendo Switch continued the strong momentum of last year and once again dominated hardware sales in many regions of Europe. PlayStation 5 ranked first in the United Kingdom, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark. The best-selling game is FIFA 22, beating last year’s FIFA 21. It’s a bit surprising that although Metroid Dread is highly rated globally and has a good first release, it has sold better than the previous series, but the sale in Europe is average, only ranked 23rd on the Nintendo Switch game sales chart, behind New Pokémon Snap.

Among the top ten games in the game sales list, there are only two new games in the true sense, namely Call of Duty: Vanguard and Super Mario 3D World+Bowser’s Fury. Far Cry 6 is currently gaining momentum, but it is estimated that it will take a few weeks to enter the top ten.

Since Xbox One games are automatically upgraded, statistics on the Xbox platform become complicated, which requires the combination of Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. On this platform, FIFA 22 is the sales champion, and Forza Horizon 5 ranks fourth. Farming Simulator 22, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, Monster Hunter Rise, Forza Horizon 5, and Guardians of the Galaxy are on the European game sales charts.
