And Mario Kart 8: Deluxe is No. 2. Once again.
Another week, another triumph for Nintendo in the British boxes.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is once again, for the fourth time this year, despite a 13% drop in sales. Mario Kart 8: Deluxe stays at No. 2 for the second week in a row, with a 1% drop in sales.
It was almost a Nintendo top three, but Ring Fit Adventure missed out on third place with just 52 devices. The training game’s sales increased by 34% from week to week, but failed to completely overturn Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, which continued despite an 8% decline in sales.
The only significant new boxing game that came out this year (so far) is Hitman 3, and that game is now down to No. 1
7 with a 54% drop in sales weekly.
There was one new game in the charts, and that is Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthbound at No. 36. The game was released by Maximum Games in the UK.
It’s a pretty quiet start to the year for the gaming market, but there’s a significant new game coming this week in the form of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury for the Nintendo Switch. That game will definitely be the best-selling boxing game this time next week.
Here is GfK’s top ten for the week ending February 7:
