Animal Crossing will remain as the iconic containment video game -

Nintendo

Animal Crossing

is the best-selling cultural property in France in 2020, according to figures from the GFK institute relayed by 

Le Figaro on

Monday.

Video games are at the top of this ranking which lists sales of books, videos, music and video games.

In total, more than a million copies have been sold.

But that's not counting all the purchases that were made on the publisher's site Nintendo, since the Japanese company does not communicate any figures.

Three video games in the first places

Video games are the big winners of 2020. The sector has been boosted, on the one hand by the various confinements and the attraction of digital leisure, but also by the arrival of new consoles such as the PS5 and the Xbox Series.

Thus,

Animal Crossing

is followed by

Fifa 21

and

Mario Kart 8

, with 500,000 to 1 million copies sold according to GFK figures.

You have to wait for fourth place to see other cultural goods appear in this classification.

This position is occupied by the book by Joël Dicker,

The enigma of the room 622, in

front of

The secret life of the writers

 of Guillaume Musso.

The author is also in eighth place with 

La vie est un roman

, behind L'Anomalie by Hervé Le Tellier and 

Fait maison

 by Cyril Lignac.

Note that the first DVD comes in 10th place.

This is

Frozen 2

.

In total, DVD-BluRay sales fell 27% in 2020.
