Batman: Arkham Origins opening weekend sales half of Arkham City in the UK

Batman: Arkham Origins sold half as many copies in its opening weekend in the UK as predecessor Batman: Arkham City, sales tracker Chart-Track has reported.

Sales of Arkham Origins were similar to the original Arkham Asylum, but the prize for the best-selling opening weekend of a Batman game is still held by Lego Batman, Chart-Track adds.

Grand Theft Auto V was second in the UK charts, followed by FIFA 14 in third and Skylanders: Swap Force in fourth.

Pokemon X and Y were fifth and sixth, respectively.

New in the chart this week was the latest Moshi Monsters game in ninth, and Rocksmith: 2014 Edition in 15th.
