Xbox hardware enjoyed a massive surge in the UK for the week ending 27 March, with sales rising a whopping 65 percent week on week, according to the latest figures from ChartTrack.
The leap in numbers is largely accounted for by the release late last week of Ubisoft's superb Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, and the limited edition Crystal Edition Xbox, both of which went on sale last Friday. Various retail outlets such as Game are also offering both products as a value bundle (Game's weighing in at £159.98).
This boost comes after a huge week for Microsoft, in which at last week's Game Developers Conference it unveiled its masterplan to drive next-generation content: XNA.
Pandora Tomorrow also rocketed to the top of this week's all-formats UK charts, compiled by ChartTrack, and since the game and the Crystal Xbox only had two days at retail when the latest figures were compiled, Microsoft will be counting on continued success this week.
