Animal Crossing slips from number one spot
Although the U.K. is currently under soft lockdown legislation, this didn’t stop physical game sales from spiking last week. Although, overall, sales were down last week, (due to the launch ofAnimal Crossing: New Horizons) sales were up over 100% when compared to the week prior to that.
Activision’s military shooterCall of Duty: Modern Warfarehas returned to the number-one spot, perhaps helped by the ongoing success of sister releaseWarzone, while EA’s indelible football simFIFA 20is back at number two. Last week’s new releasesAnimal CrossingandDoom Eternalare now sat in third and fourth place, respectively, while Activision holds fort at the back of the Top Ten with family-friendly releases such asCrash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy,Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, andSpyro: Reignited Trilogy.As reported by GamesIndustry.biz, many older titles have also found their way back into the Top 40, with titles such asUncharted 4,Sea of Thieves,Horizon Zero DawnandPlayStation VR Worldsall making re-entries. This is almost entirely due to a spike in hardware sales as people prepare to remain indoors for the foreseeable future.
