The time of day and season match real life, so each day on your island is a chance to check in and find new surprises all year round. You can hunt down insects at the crack of dawn, decorate your paradise throughout the day, or enjoy sunset on the beach while fishing in the ocean. Your island getaway has a wealth of natural resources that can be used to craft everything from tools to creature comforts. We will get a wider view of the market when the download data comes in later in the week.Escape to a deserted island and create your own paradise as you explore, create, and customize in the Animal Crossing: New Horizons game. All three of those games are relatively recent releases.Īccording to retailers, that has been a jump in demand for games as consumers prepare to stay at home to slow the spread of COVID-19. In fact, only three games across the entire Top 40 dropped in sales week-on-week - Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX fell 24% in sales, Two Point Hospital slipped 8%, and Nioh 2, which was No.1 last week, fell 55% in sales.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare at No.3 enjoyed a 282% sales jump, FIFA 20 at No.4 posted a 326% increase, Mario Kart 8: Deluxe at No.5 achieved a rise of 100%. Of course, Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Doom: Eternal played a big part in that, but game sales have surged across the board. That's more than three times the previous week's numbers. It's been a major week for boxed game sales overall, with more than 475,000 physical games sold over the last seven days. Unfortunately, Bethesda also doesn't share digital download figures, so we won't know how the game really performed. Doom: Eternal's physical launch sales are roughly a third smaller than its predecessor, but the drop may not be quite so significant if we factor in digital sales. It's no surprise to learn that Nintendo's game was No.1 in the boxed charts this week, comfortably ahead of Doom: Eternal, which debuts at No.2. Nintendo does not share digital download data externally. This only factors in physical sales, it does not include digital download numbers, which may have been higher than usual considering the concerns around the COVID-19 virus that has seen the UK Government recommend that citizens stay indoors. It is also the biggest single game launch on Nintendo Switch since the console came out, although if you combine the sales of Pokémon Sword and Shield together, those games enjoyed a bigger first week. The launch is 3.5 times bigger than the last game in the series, 2013's Animal Crossing: New Leaf on Nintendo 3DS, which was the previous biggest launch for the series. Nintendo's critically acclaimed sequel has sold more copies in its first week on sale than the launch sales of all previous Animal Crossing games combined, including the spin-offs.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has become a major hit in the UK.
