EA remain at No1 this week with ‘Titanfall’ (+220%) reclaiming top spot from ‘FIFA 14’ (-1%), boosted by the launch of the Xbox 360 version.

‘Lego The Hobbit’ has to settle for a debut at No2 with FIFA 14 dropping to No3. ‘South Park: The Stick of Truth’ (+52%) jumps 4 places to No4 thanks to retailer promotions, ahead of ‘Call of Duty: Ghosts’ (+28%) which slips one place to No5. Easter holidays and retailer promotions will have helped kid’s titles ‘Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition’ (+35%), up from No9 to No6 and ‘Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare’ (+20%), back in the Top 10 at No8. ‘The Lego Movie Videogame’ (+7%) is the second of 4 Lego games in the Top 40 this week and a non-mover at No7. ‘Assassin’s Creed IV’ (+27%) and ‘Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes’ (-36%) complete the Top 10 at No’s 9 and 10 respectively.

There are new entries at No14 for Microsoft/Rare’s Xbox One ‘Kinect Sports: Rivals’ and No34 for Aleternative’s ‘Don Bradman Cricket 14’, while ‘Football Manager 2014’ (+280%) is back in the chart this week at No18 thanks to the new Vita version.

Titanfall Domination!! MS domination of the Top 10.

0 3DS games but 1 Vita games. Ninty London HQ must be on full alert.

Platform Breakdown

7 PS4 Games
7 XB1 Games
15 360 Games
9 PS3 Games
1 PC Game
1 Vita Game

Pretty good increase for South Park, although it's already under half price so hard to judge just how happy they will be with that.

Kinect Sports Rivals not great, but decent week for Microsoft, and like always, EA.

Yep hardware wise expect One to be ahead due to the bundle price cut at Asda, Amazon and Tesco. £349 is a killer price if you were still on the fence.

Seems like does BIG price drops for XboxOne Titanfall bundle helped the game.

"71 per cent of Titanfall copies sold last week were of the new last-gen version, UK numbers company Chart-Track reported." - Eurogamer

No real surprises here. It was the new version, after all.

Seems like this truly will be a "MS Domination" week; as well likely the next few.

So Infamous below 6800 units, if we assume that PvZ on 360 increased about 20% but that could be higher or lower depending on the X1 version.
Titanfall holds, mostly thanks to the deals on the bundles. I wonder how long those'll go on, but the X1 should have won this week.
Low opening for Kinect Sports, lets see if it does what the first 2 games did, I have my doubts as long as they don't bundle it.
