The Witcher 3 Holds off Splatoon Surge in UK Chart

CD Projekt RED's open-world RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has taken the top spot on the UK charts for the second week in a row.

To do so, The Witcher 3 held off competition from Nintendo's quirky and colourful new shooter Splatoon, which debuts at No.2.

According to sales monitor Chart-Track, Splatoon is the fifth fastest selling Wii U game in the UK ever, and also "the biggest ever launch of new IP on the Wii U (overturning Ubisoft's Zombi U)."

Elsewhere in the chart, Grand Theft Auto V and FIFA 15 hold their positions at No.4 and No.5 respectively, while Farming Simulator 15 drops to No.6.
