New ‘Call of Duty’ tops U.K. boxed charts this week, GI.biz reports

Activision’s (MSFT) “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” finished in first place in the U.K.’s boxed charts this week, pushing Nintendo’s (NTDOY) “Super Mario Bros. Wonder” to third place, Gamesindustry.biz’s Sophie McEvoy reports, citing data from GfK. The latest from the long-running “Call of Duty” franchises sold more physical units on PlayStation 5 (SONY) than it did on Xbox Series X/S, though boxed sales are 25% lower compared to last year’s “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2,” the author notes. Meanwhile, Electronic Arts’ (EA) “EA Sports FC 24” ended the week in second place in the U.K., followed by Sony’s “Spider-Man 2” in fourth, the author says.
