AC drops below 100k for the first time, WW the title should be at least 17m as Famitsu reported WW digital sales had surpassed 10m, retail should be at least 7m ww.

Expected drop for XC: DE.

Didn't think TLOU Remastered would get such a boost pre TLOUII's release (I mean, it makes sense but didn't think it'd climb up to the top 10)

You think It did only 2m retail outside of Japan?


Probably already passed 20m retail and digital WW.

Most of the sales outside of Japan are likely to be digital which is why digital has surpassed 10m as not many retail outlets are open due to lock down. For reference AC:NL sold 10m retail and 2.5m digital only a quarter of digital sales here.

Now let's see if we just went from 2 to 3 very long runners in the top 3

FAMITSU TOP SELLING GAMES JAPAN ALL TIME(physical):

11. Monster Hunter Freedom 3 (PSP) - 4.850.000
12. Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Switch) - 4.783.229
13. New Super Mario Bros (Wii) - 4.630.000

Animal Crossing: New Horizons will probably overtake MHF3 next week. It will be sitting comfortably within the Top 10 best selling physical game of all time by the end of this quarter. Probably Top 5 by the end of next quarter. 

Looking at what Splatoon 2 achieved in the biggest weeks of 2017, I can only imagine how much New Horizon is going to be selling this Christmas: 

Famitsu Sales: Week 43, 2017 (Oct 16 - Oct 22)

Splatoon 2 - 14.161 / 1.288.631 <80-100%> (-23%)

NSW - 23.892

Famitsu Sales: Week 52, 2017 (Dec 18 - Dec 24)

Splatoon 2 - 132.886 / 1.671.970 <80-100%> (+98%)

NSW - 159.636

Famitsu Sales: Week 1, 2018 (Jan 01 - Jan 07)

Splatoon 2 - 130.901 / 1.882.997 <80-100%>(+63%)

NSW - 303.504 / 3.566.794

Animal Crossing is already at 35% physical attach rate on the Switch a system with nearly 14M owners in Japan. It will climb to at least 45% by the end of the year, which would be 8.1M physical sales on 18M Switches sold.

If Switch supply remains about 50-80K average per week during the slower summer/autumn months, Animal Crossing: New Horizons won't drop below 30K anytime soon. The only way it drops below 30K is if Nintendo is shipping 25K Switches per week(due to supply problems).  

At a bare minimum, I think New Horizon will sell 6.2M physical by the end of the year and this is only, with major supply chain problems. The big question is how many Switches Nintendo is able to ship until the end of the year

FF7:R seems to have dropped, or is dropping, off the charts everywhere.

I can't think of many RPGS that have stayed on in the top 10 for 10 weeks.  It's nothing to be concerned about

Some people just set up very unrealistic expectations for this game.
