Hitman 3 drops to No.11
Animal Crossing: New Horizons returns to the top of the UK boxing charts after losing its place for Hitman 3 last week.
IO Interactive’s stealth game drops to No.11, which may seem like a steep drop, but sales are down 68% week-on-week and that’s a relatively normal decline for a base game in the second week has sold.
Animal Crossing takes No. 1 despite sales falling 12% each week, and Mario Kart 8: Deluxe rises a place to No.2 after slipping 12% over the previous week .
It wasn’t a fall at all, Call of Duty: Cold War Black Ops rises two places to No.3 after a 2% sales increase, while Grand Theft Auto 5 is up to No.4 off after a 7% increase in sales.
Another thing, it’s been a very quiet week for game sales. There are two new entries in the card, PGA Tour 2K21 at No.31 (sales up 52%) and Fortnite: The Last Laugh package, which returns to No.36 after a 50% spike in sales.
Next week also looks pretty quiet, while next week marks the release of the first major game of the year: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury on the Nintendo Switch.
