Assassin's Creed 3 is publisher Ubisoft's biggest launch ever in the UK. According to
Chart-Track, along with the previously mentioned achievement,
AC3 is also the second biggest launch of the year (
behind FIFA 13, natch). This fifth installment in the franchise (
1, 2, Brotherhood, Revelations, 3) sold double that of
Assassin's Creed 2 during its launch week, and 117,000 units more than last year's
Revelations.
FIFA 13 sits comfortably in second, followed by three new titles and
Medal of Honor: Warfighter's quick fall from grace.
WWE '13, Football Manager 2013 and
Need for Speed: Most Wanted debut in spots three through five, respectively. Kick it on past the break for the UK top ten.
