Call of Duty: Ghosts topped the list following the release of its sequel with 43,264 copies sold to the site across the two days. Next up was Grand Theft Auto V, a next-gen version of which was released in November, with 42,907 copies.
Also in the list were FIFA 14 (34,067), Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (22,498) and Grand Theft Auto IV (22,302).
