We love charts here at Player Attack, and one of the highlights of our week is receiving the latest details from UKIE, who send us the 40 best-selling titles in Britain, as announced by the The Association for UK Interactive Entertainment.
Well now, that didn’t last very long. Medal of Honor: Warfighter has already fallen from grace, landing at #6 after a bunch of new releases dominated the top 5 (special mention of FIFA 13, which stays steady at #2).
It’s not that it’s a bad bunch of games pushing their way in, either: Assassin’s Creed III is officially Ubisoft‘s biggest ever launch title, selling almost double Assassin’s Creed II on launch. It is the second-biggest launch of 2012 (after FIFA 13, of course), and is anticipated to stick around for a while. At the same time, the PS Vita version of the game – Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation – is doing very nicely for itself, the third-biggest launch for that platform of all time.
