Watch Dogs Legion Debuts in 2nd on the UK Charts, Pikmin 3 Deluxe Debuts in 7th - Sales
by William D'Angelo , posted on 02 November 2020 / 2,894 ViewsFIFA 21 has remained in first place on the UK charts, according to GfK for the week ending October 31, 2020. Sales for the game dropped 24 percent week-on-week.
Watch Dogs Legion debuted in second place as retail sales were 54 percent lower than 2016's Watch Dogs 2. It is likely the game sold more digital units than the previous entry in the series. The game will also be getting a next-generation version later this month on the Xbox Series X and S, and PlayStation 5.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe debuted in seventh place with sales 18.5 percent lower than the Wii U version. However, this does not include digital sales, which are much higher on the Switch than they were on the Wii U.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope debuted in ninth place. Sales are 47 percent lower than 2019's Man of Medan.
Here are the top 10 best-selling titles:
- FIFA 21
- Watch Dogs Legion - NEW
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
- Minecraft (NS)
- Super Mario 3D All-Stars

Good for Pikmin. I really hope that this entry sells well (for the series). 2 million copies would make it the best selling entry in the series. Over 4 Million would be crazy considering earlier sales but it is not impossible as every first-party franchise sells very well on Switch. I think the demo was a really good idea for this game as the concept only starts making sense when trying the game out.
Meanwhile, 2 days of sales is not really relevant of how much the game has been recieved. Hope that the upcoming weeks show better figures.
Watdogs most likely will be hurt by people waiting for next gen, especially since current gen version runs like crap. And a strong start for pikmin 3 which most likely outsold the Wii U version including digital, hopefully it can maintain some legs over Xmas
