Next year a cake will do people seriously
Today Amazon.co.uk celebrates its 15th birthday and their doing so with by revealing there best-selling products ever.
Are you surpised that Black Ops 2 never made it into the list.
Starting with the big one, the fastest selling product of all-time on Amazon are physical copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows which is naturally also the fastest selling book on Amazon. Meanwhile its sequel Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is Amazons best-selling DVD. Finally the fastest selling album is One Directions Midnight Memories. Now before I give you the top 10 best-selling video games on Amazon I first want to mention that the best-selling items are based on pre-order sales and not sales over the years.Back to the lists here is the top 10 best-selling video games on Amazon and yes these are cross-platform.
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
- Call of Duty: Black Ops
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
- Grand Theft Auto 5
- Call of Duty: Black Ops II
- FIFA 10
- FIFA 13
- FIFA 12
- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
- Zumba Fitness
Harry Potter may now be gone but he sure left his mark on Amazon.
While it’s not that surprising to see Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 at the top of the list because Modern Warfare 2 was Call of Duty at the height of its popularity, I must admit that seeing Zumba Fitness at number 10 was surprising to say the least, partly because it’s the only game on this list that’s not multiplatform.
Also while Modern Warfare 2 is the number one selling game on Amazon, Grand Theft Auto 5 is the fastest selling game of all time.
The Vice-President of EU retail Xavier Garambois has said that
“The past 15 years have seen Amazon.co.uk broaden its range of products each year, but entertainment products have always played an integral role in our business,”
Along with
“It’s fascinating to look back at our biggest sellers – it gives a wonderful picture of the icons of entertainment culture which have defined the UK since 1998.”
