The Witcher 3 holds off Splatoon to spend a second week on top of UK charts

The Witcher 3 has held off strong competition from Splatoon for a second straight week on top of the UK Charts.

Great sales for Splatoon! Nice work Nintendo...

[RosweeSon]

Yeah not bad for a system that's supposedly doomed, kept off the top spot by a game that's on 3 systems, not bad at all for a Brand New IP.

witcher in beast mode!

Tell all your friends... wait, there's no chat in Splatoon? Nevermind.

When are you people gonna get over the vc issue and start enjoying the game?
Is cussing out randoms online really that damned important to ya?XD

[TheCommentator]

Communication is a part of teamwork. Play a campaign if you don't wan't to cooperate or turn off voice chat if it offends you.

Wan't, lol. Don't drink and spell kids, it'll kill ya...

[RiPPn]

Much deserved, Witched 3 is a gem!

For the UK chart that's actually surprising! I have seen it advertised a few times here but there are far less wii u's sold here.. Anyway good news! I'm loving splatoon :D

First off Withcer 3 is the bomb, but that being said after a week of solid Withcer 3 I was ready for something else.
and..Splatoon is a lot of fun. If you haven't played it you're missing out. Its like this in my home I have all the games you could ever want on all the systems and in particular all the shooters. My kids have seen them all. They all lined up to play Splatoon (including my wife). If things keep going like this I may have to buy another WiiU.
Now, back to Wither 3 before I loose my spot.

For a moment I thought you were saying that the Witcher 3 is A bomb (flop) and was like O_o Then looked again and got it. Lol
Pretty good performance by Splatoon though. It is a good, innocent and family oriented shooter in a world of ultra violent and politically charged shooters which either depict the Koreans, Chinese, Russian or Middle-Easterners as villains. The Wii U install base is quite low and Witcher 3 is multiplat so it is very impressive that it still almost topped the charts.

Splatoon has fantastic gameplay that has leveral layers and isnt quite as simple as it seems at first sight. I never was into online shooters, skipped Destiny etc, but Splatoon caught me by surprise, its fast, furious and fun.

Am I wrong or is this week sun to sat?
If so as was the case with mario kart 8 this is only counting two days Splatoon sales and further more the game was only released friday it is Monday this can max be only 3 says sales! That is crazy good for a new ip and on wii u!

Also witcher 3 rocks well desirved.

[addictedtochaos]

Didn't Splatoon release on a friday like it did in the US?

[Xof]

...Splatoon is giving TW3 competition? Really?

...Is selling that poorly? Because if a WiiU game is getting sales in the same ballpark as a PS4/XB3/PC game, that says something really bad about the latter.
