On Christmas Eve, British retail was marked by a tense confrontation, the winner of which was an action-adventure Assassin’s creed valhalla… For the first time in the Christmas chart, the leading position remained with the game of the Assassin’s Creed series and Ubisoft publishing in general…
Valhalla has become only the third non-FIFA or Call of Duty game to reach the top of the holiday charts in the country in the last 15 years of the UK physics charts. Previously, only Red dead redemption 2 from Rockstar in 2018 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim from Bethesda in 2011.
Thanks to some discount offers before Christmas box sales Assassin’s creed valhalla grew at once by 66%, which allowed leaving the shooter out of work Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War…
RPG sales Cyberpunk 2077 sank immediately by 80%, which was reflected in the fall of the project to the third position. New from Polish studio CD Projekt RED received extremely negative press due to the unsatisfactory state of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. Either way, this drop in sales is not unusual for a product of this rank, with many copies sold out on pre-orders. An example is The Last of Us: Part Two and Assassin’s creed valhalla, whose sales figures in the second week fell 80% and 70%, respectively.
Five closed FIFA 21 (+ 40%) and Animal Crossing: New Horizons (-eleven%). The fifth line from the first was separated by only 9000 copies.
