Perhaps bouyed by this weekend's FA Cup action or the fact that dogs in a shooter aren't as bigger draw as the prospect of pulling Manchester United out of seventh place in the Premiership, FIFA 14 has begun 2014 in first place in the retail sales chart.

Call Of Duty: Ghosts begins 2014 in second place, having sold 4,000 more than it's closest charting rival, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, which lands in third place.

Rockstar's license-to-print-money Grand Theft Auto 5 remains in 5th place and, according to sales data from Chart-Track, it's now the fourth biggest selling game in all of UK history. Furthermore, if sales stay on course, GTA 5 could become the biggest selling UK game of all time within the next three months.

The only change in the chart line-up this week sees Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition swapping places with Just Dance 2014, landing at eight and ninth place respectively.

The top 10 chart shapes up as follows:

1. FIFA 14 (ranked 1st last week)
2. Call Of Duty: Ghosts (ranked 2nd last week)
3. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (ranked 3rd last week)
4. Battlefield 4 (ranked 4th last week)
