UK Sales Charts: Assassin’s Creed IV Holds off Battlefield 4 for 1st Place, Grand Theft Auto V Slips to 4th

Thanks to a three day head start, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag was able to hold off Battlefield 4 for top spot in the UK.

As for other debuts, WWE 2K14 started its run in 7th, while Angry Birds Star Wars only managed to place in 30th.
