Batman: Arkham Origins has made its debut at the top of the all-format weekly chart, despite selling half as many copies as its predecessor Batman: Arkham City
Week one Arkham Origins sales are comparable to the original Arkham Asylum release, and well short of LEGO Batman: The Video Game, which remains the best-selling Batman game in the UK.
Grand Theft Auto 5 drops to second, above FIFA 14 in third, Skylanders Swap Force in fourth, and Nintendo’s new Pokemon games in fifth and sixth.
Rocksmith 2014 Edition makes its debut at 15, above Max Payne 3, a returning Splinter Cell: Blacklist and fellow new entry The Sims 3: Into the Future.
