Rounding off the Top Five is the official Olympics game from Sega at No.4 (sales down 5%) and Animal Crossing: New Horizons at No.5 (sales flat week-on-week). Mario Kart 8: Deluxe is back at No.1 after a 6% sales increase week-on-week, GTA 5 climbs five places to No.2 after a 44% sales jump, while Minecraft is at No.3 following a 17% sales leap.
Of course, all three of those games have been mainstays in the Top Ten for years, particularly since they launched on more modern hardware. Which are all games that were first released a generation ago on other platforms (2014 for Mario Kart, 2013 for GTA and 2011 for Minecraft). This week is one of those, with the three biggest games being Mario Kart 8: Deluxe, Grand Theft Auto 5 and Minecraft (Switch). Or, in the case of that summer in 2011 when Zumba Fitness was No.1 for ten consecutive weeks, really repetitive reading. In the summer months, as video game sales slow and new releases are few and far between, sometimes the charts - particularly the physical UK boxed chart - can make for unique reading.
