No major surprise this week as publisher Bandai Namco and developer From Software celebrate the number one position with Dark Souls III. It's the best opening week in franchise history and in fact it beat previous best Dark Souls II by a whopping 61 percent.

There were no other major releases this week, but in number 18 we find the Nintendo Select edition of New Super Mario Bros. U + Super Luigi which technically is a new SKU.

Last week's number one Quantum Break drops to fourth, while The Division climbs back up to number two.
