Saints Row IV still topping UK charts

Deep Silver’s Saints Row IV has seen off plenty of opposition to remain this week’s UKIE GfK Chart-Track All Formats Top 40 No.1.

Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist hangs on to second, too, although last week’s No.3 – Disney Infinity – is knocked down one place by Square Enix MMO Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn which makes an impressive third place debut.

The original Final Fantasy XIV debuted at No.10 in September 2010.

Ubisoft’s Rayman Legends makes a No.6 chart arrival ahead of EA’s Madden NFL 25 in seventh.

Last week’s two other high profile new releases fare less well, with Capcom’s Lost Planet 3 managing 26th and Deep Silver’s Killer is Dead 28th.
