Though the rank of FIFA 15 is down, we are also favorite.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is the UK's 2014 Christmas No.1. Sledgehammer's shooter returns to the top of the charts following retailer price cuts last week, forcing previous chart-topper FIFA 15 down to second place.

Advanced Warfare's success marks the fifth Christmas No.1 for Call of Duty, with Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 all having reached the Christmas top spot in earlier years.

Grand Theft Auto 5 and Far Cry 4 hold on to No.3 and No.4 respectively, with Assassin's Creed Unity moving up five places to No.5 thanks to a £20 price drop.

The Crew also benefits from heavy discounting, finishing at No.6 after a 92 per cent rise in sales, with Destiny, Minecraft: Xbox Edition, Minecraft: PlayStation Edition and LEGO Batman 3 rounding out the top 10.

Last-gen adventure Assassin's Creed: Rogue bounces back into the top 20, too, moving up 12 places to No.15, as does last year's game Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, soaring up the charts to No.19 thanks to being bundled with PS4 with FIFA 15 Coins PS4 to play.

But despite the console's success in recent weeks, Microsoft will likely be disappointed by the Christmas performance of its Xbox One exclusives, with Forza Horizon 2 falling to No.21, Halo: The Master Chief Collection at No.22 and Sunset Overdrive tumbling out of the top 40 altogether.
