Xbox backwards compatibility boosts sales of classic Call of Duty games in UK
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 saw a surge in sales in the UK last month due to Xbox's backwards compatibility and discounted prices. Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 also climbed the charts thanks to summer sales. FIFA 23 claimed the top spot, while PlayStation 5 remained the leading console in terms of sales. Nintendo Switch sales declined, and PS4 sales saw a significant increase. The UK gaming accessories market was dominated by Sony DualSense controllers.
