Anmal crossing is a moving target. If it outsells FIFA next week, then FIFA won't overtake it, hence the 1 week away part of their assessment isn't accurate.

I think the fact that they're making that assessment means the sales of the two aren't anywhere near each other though. FIFA had the biggest debut of the year in the UK (unsuprisingly) and only dropped 65 % this week, so despite its crazy legs AC isn't likely to be on the same level, and I think it'll take more than one week for that to change.

For the future, you should probably just do one article about how a game does sales wise. Having 3 or 4 articles in a row that all say "FIFA is #1 in X country" really isn't needed.

It's about the country charts not the game. The game just happened to be latest/biggest release in multiple markets currently.

Still, have one article that discusses it.
