Ghost of Tsushima is dethroned by Nintendo’s hit Animal Crossing: New Horizons after three weeks on the UK bestselling video games chart.
The two incredibly bestselling games, Ghost of Tsushima and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, battle for number one on the UK charts, and New Horizons has just pulled out ahead. The relaxing island life simulator is getting its 21st week in the UK charts, although New Horizons is selling out worldwide.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is back, helping Nintendo Switch discharges make six out of the whole Top Ten, while the PS4 elite Ghost of Tsushima caught the best position for a strong three weeks.
Although it’s been present globally in charts since its March release, New Horizons was behind number one for eleven weeks. Falling just behind the Pokémon Blue, Green, and Red trio, the game recently hit a milestone by becoming the second-highest bestselling game in Japan. And it has so much momentum that some people are projecting New Horizons to overtake the original Pokémon games.
Ghost of Tsushima saw a 46% sales drop, as the hype behind the action-adventure game set in Japan may finally be dying down. Still, the game’s impact is not to be discounted as it notably broke a Sony record for selling 2.4 million copies in 3 days, and there’s still a chance that Ghost of Tsushima could challenge New Horizons for the number one spot again.
As millions of people around the globe enjoy the social aspect of the game, the New Horizons phenomenon is a sight to behold, with its customization and the relaxing escape from real-world problems.
Each one of those individuals is continually persuading their companions likewise to buy copies of the game and go along with them on their islands, so whether or not New Horizons slips behind another game once more, it will presumably be on smash hit records worldwide for some time yet. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is out now exclusively on the Nintendo Switch.
