The launch of Animal Crossing: New Horizons ended up being 3.5 times bigger than New Leaf. Even more impressive is that the launch week was bigger than the release of all other Animal Crossing games combined, including spin-offs. Digital is not included.

It goes without saying, but Animal Crossing: New Horizons was almost certainly one of the best-selling game in the UK last week. We should have the full charts soon.
