Fallout 4 Sales Soar to #1 in Europe Following TV Show Debut

wccftech.com:

Fallout 4 sales have soared in select European countries following the debut of the Fallout TV show on Amazon Prime.

We already noticed increased interest in the Fallout series after Amazon launched its TV show based on the franchise, and as now reported by GamesIndustry.biz, 2015's Fallout 4 was the best-selling game in Europe. This is partly due to the launch of the Fallout TV show, but also due to the discounts on the Fallout games that tie in with the launch of the show on Amazon. According to Gamesindustry.biz, sales for Fallout 4 increased by 7.500% week-on-week, thereby beating sales of Sony's Helldivers 2, EA Sports FC 24, GTA V, and several other high-profile more recent titles. Fallout 4 wasn't the only game that witnessed a sales spike in Europe - Fallout 76 rose to the eighth spot on the list, whereas Fallout: New Vegas claimed the ninth spot. Last in the top 10 is 2008's Fallout 3.
