6. FIFA 13 Was Biggest Sports Game Launch In History
Since those early days of FIFA way back in 1993, the franchise has gone on to become a video game juggernaut and one of the most popular series in the history of the industry. Several of its iterations hold various records. FIFA 12, for example, is the fastest selling sports game ever, while successor 13 remains the biggest game launch in the history of sports video games, selling more than 4.5 million games in the first five days. 1.23 million alone were sold within the first 48 hours in the UK, with FIFA 13 becoming only the second video game in history to sell more than 1 million united in the UK in a day. More recently, FIFA 14
knocked Grand Theft Auto V from the top of the charts and has this week retained its status as the country's top-selling video game for a second week running.
