Animal Crossing (1.8M sold) drives the switch to its highest sales week ever in Japan (392K, higher than launch week)

They're amazing, but Mario Kart is on another level.
I've seen some AC pictures that would be more fitting, but they'd get me bannedAnimal crossing:
Crazy that the Switch already passed the Wii's LTD in Japan.
At launch? No, but LTD absolutely. I think it can go 30M+ eventually.

With digital it should be higher than all Dragon Quest games.
And possibly higher than all other games ever, period.
Thinking about this is just insane. It's an amazing game but I never thought it would hit highs like this. Congrats to that whole team!
What the fuuuuuck
Someone deadass said that AC is niche with a serious face. I can't man
Every AC game reminds me there are a ton of people that really really like AC. Every time I'm like 'wow look at that! I should go check that game out if it's so popular'. *Goes and watches reviews and impressions* Then I think 'yep still looks about as fun as watching paint dry.' the funny thing is most reviewers I saw agree. I should probably just chalk it up to being for a very different demographic than me.
Now can you make Splatoon 3 please???

I usually have like 2-4 Switch friends online at once, all playing different games.
Lately, I've had 10-12 online at once, all playing AC. its nuts.

Its just a difference in taste is all. I'm a 25 year old male and I like customizing stuff in my town even if theres no end goal and doing repetitive tasks. I also am playing Doom Eternal in between animal crossing sessions. Everyones different.
The Splatoon and AC teams barely overlap. It's like 30 people at the most.
There was no school but as of now there was no quarantine in Japan (this might change today)
Using only Switch exclusives (and cheating BotW onto the list), it's certain got a case to be made. SNES and GC are probably it's only real competitors.
Man, this might break Pokemon Red/Green's long standing record. Those sold 7.8 million in Japan
It already was safe to say that when BOTW trashed the 10M mark in no-time, tbh. Next moment to reiterate that will be when MK8D (without WiiU version) surpasses MK Wii's 37M sales in a few years.
What, no Doom Eternal icon Era?
Animal Crossing gets an Era icon but not Doom Eternal? For shame, Era.

Paging Hu3 here. And even if Doom manages to sell more initially in the USA (let's wait for the NPD thread), AC will have legs for years.
If digital is 30% or more, it should be the highest game launch ever in Japan. Which is crazy!!
Oh dang, I always thought they shared a team as well as the producer or director. Good to know.
Yep, I'm like that too. I prefer action and driving games, but when I need something slower, AC is one of those games that is just fun to play. Personally, I'm a big fan of fishing and bug hunting.
I have been playing AC non stop the ast few days, I think its more addictive than fun, but I still love it lol.
Holy shizznizzle. Nintendo exclusives continue to print money.
Yeah, you're right. i totally forgot about that monster too. The series was on a major climb with the Gamecube version. It was a slow climb but one could see the potential.
I feel alone in the world not understanding AC hype. I tried 3DS version and could not bring myself to understand why I would live a boring alternative life outside my own one..
You're not alone, I don't understand the appeal at all either.
Like, it's clearly extremely charming but it's not the type of game I really enjoy.
