Famitsu’s Japanese chart figures are now in for 13th – 19th April, revealing that Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/a><\/strong> once again dominated weekly sales.<\/p>\n

The game shifted an estimated 286,586 copies in Japan last week, showing crazy levels of momentum as it comfortably pushes last week’s number one, Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/strong>, down into second spot. In terms of physical sales in the region, New Horizons has now surpassed Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield<\/strong><\/a>‘s lifetime total, meaning that it’s just become the second best-selling Switch game in Nintendo’s home country after just a month on sale.<\/p>\n
