UK Sales Charts: Saints Row IV Holds Onto #1, Final Fantasy XIV: ARR Debuts in 3rd

Despite a bunch of new releases challenging them, both Saints Row IV (down 44%) and Splinter Cell: Blacklist (down 37%) managed to retain the #1 and #2 spots atop the UK charts, followed by newcomer Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn in third.

Elsewhere, Rayman Legends had a respectable debut of 6th place (with Legends outselling Rayman Legends by 20% in week 1) and Madden NFL 25 was 7th (behind Madden NFL 13’s week 1 sales). Unfortunately, things got much worse for Capcom and GrassHopper Manufacture, as Lost Planet 3 was 26th and Killer is Dead was 28th (ouch).
