Assassin’s Creed 3 Tops UK Charts

Assassin's Creed III has topped the UK charts in its opening week. While UKIE hasn't posted actual sales figures on its website, it does say that Assassin's Creed III has “easily” become “the second biggest launch of the year so far” (presumably behind FIFA 13, still sitting comfortably near the top of these charts), as well as outperforming Assassin's Creed: Revelations, which previously held Ubisoft's record for biggest launch.

Another notable change is Warfighter's drop to sixth position (it was number one in the UK in its opening week). Assassin's Creed: Liberation's enters in fourteenth, which seems fairly low but – UKIE says – is the third-biggest launch for a Vita title after Uncharted: Golden Abyss and FIFA Football, both launch titles.
