Tom Nook Animal Crossing

UK chart data is now in for the week ending 28th March, revealing that Animal Crossing: New Horizons has fallen from its triumphant first-place debut into third.

Nintendo's life sim saw its week-on-week sales plummet by 81% at retail, while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and FIFA 20 both saw boosts to last week's figures to help them regain first and second respectively. Gamesindustry.biz notes that Nintendo Switch game sales fell "across the board" this week, likely thanks to stock issues with the Switch console itself.

That's not to say that the UK games market has dried up, though. Physical sales have actually been performing rather well, even with game stores closing in recent weeks to combat the spread of coronavirus; Gamesindustry.biz says that compared to the week before Animal Crossing released, boxed game sales were up 124% this time around.

Here's a look at this week's top ten all formats chart:

Last Week This Week
3 1 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
4 2 FIFA 20
1 3 Animal Crossing: New Horizons
