2012 is coming to a close and the New Year will be upon us soon. It’s been a fairly good year for gaming – lots of blockbusters, new IPs, new sequels being released.

Game4u, Milestone’s retail unit for PC and video games, got in touch with me and and sent me the charts for the top selling games of the year on Game4u, and here’s how it looks like.

Thoughts on the list

Looking at the numbers, it’s pretty obvious that FIFA rules the roost, with FIFA 12/13 being on top 3 of most platforms. Need For Speed: Most Wanted failed to make it to the top charts, despite being the #4 pre-ordered game. If you’ve played the game(review here), you’ll know why it’s not in the top selling list.

I was curious on knowing how Game4u’s downloads4u service performed, but Milestone refused to disclose the units sold and all I got was that

Battlefield 3 Premium and Hitman Absolution: Professional Edition were our big sellers

It’ll be interesting to see how the upcoming year will play out – especially with the Digital downloads service.
