FIFA 19 was the best selling game in Europe in 2018, according to data from Gfk Entertainment

The data was gathered by Gfk from 15 European countries, and EA Sports' popular football franchise was the highest seller despite only launching on September 28, 2018.

The second best selling game was Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2, which earned $725 million in revenuefollowing its October 28 launch. After little more than a week, global shipments of the Take-Two published title had reached 17 million units.

Europe was evidently a key market for Red Dead Redemption 2, enough to leave Rockstar's game one place ahead of Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII (which launch on October 12) at the end of the year.

Farming Simulator 19 on PC was #39 and came out at the end of November. Impressive.

Yes but how much did they make from FUT?

That's the only number EA cares about

Man... this makes me sad. Not only it's almost a monopoly, not only it barely changes each year, not only it's becoming a money endless pit, and not only it's not creative in any way... sometimes I feel people play nothing else.

Here in Brazil most people buy fifa-machines, not consoles.

Not surprised, but you have to remember GTAV has been going strong for about 6 years now. I can see RDR2 being in the top selling games for the next few years.

I bet it's the same in South America, sadly no numbers to corroborate that. On PS4, at least it seems everybody is playing the latest FIFA or Fortnite and the occasional big AAA release that gets all the attention.

Europeans sure love FIFA.
I wonder what FIFA's LTV is. UT certainly makes a shitload of money but they also have a huge playerbase.

Almost all the casuals who I know that buy fifa games all the years have never touched ultimate mode, mostly because they find the idea of wasting money to play the game stupid.
