I think this game combined with the Switch numbers didn't do bad. It probably is a million seller already worldwide.
Doubt it. It only has been released in Japan so far.

Oh sorry didn't know that.
Let's not act like Pokémon is doing badly.I wonder — if Game Freak turns it all around and gen 9 turns out to be as critically lauded and beloved by fans as New Horizons will Pokemon as a series be able to catch back up to Animal Crossing?
Because as it stands now it looks like it's getting left in the dust.

Exactly. None of this means that Pokémon did not hit its potential - all of us were raving about how well Pokémon was doing just a few months ago, remember? And it's still well on its way towards 5M+ lifetime sales, which is great for the franchise however you look at it.Let's not act like Pokémon is doing badly.
It had its best launch ever globally. It beat SM's launch in Japan.
Speaking about female users on Switch, if I had to take a guess in the dark I'd expect a new Style Boutique for next fall and a new Tomodachi for spring next year.

Does 80-100% 1st week for a known leggy evergreen means it exceeded Nintendo's expectation?
A leap that Animal Crossing has had is unprecedented. Selling more than the last four games' first weeks combined in its first week. It's quite astonishing.Exactly.

It's simply that Animal Crossing is blowing any expectations the fuck up, and is doing frankly unprecedented stuff (it could go to 8M+, even - although that remains to eb seen of course - which would make it the biggest game ever released). At such a performance level, we should be talking about more factors than just 'good game on Swotch will sell tons'.

Unless I'm misreading this, they're saying that IF digital ratio is 15%, then it has sold over 2m, not that they estimate digital sales at 15%. They did the same for Pokémon Sword and Shield, now that I think about it.Heh, Dengeki estimates 15% digital sales. Now we know where Famitsu estimates come from.

Yeah, but they could have said if it is 25% then is almost 2.5m, but chose just 15%. :)

I mean, I've already bought them. I can't just go digital. I can't be the only one.No, but alot of people are going to have to buy digital. It's a shame RE3/FF7R couldn't have come out just a couple of weeks sooner. Hopefully the loss of physical sales is made up for with the increased profit of a digital purchases.
What makes you ask that? Coincidently, the 7-Eleven nearest home has a banner for a few weeks for FF7R preorder, but it was replaced today. Now it is possible that SE only payed long enough to keep it up for a week or so, but I'm surprised they didn't keep it up until closer to launch.
Animal Crossing has done so spectacularly that I think comparing other games to it can create false expectationsDamn, I knew Zelda isn't the most popular franchise in Japan, but Animal Crossing did in one week what BotW couldn't do in 3 years. Mental.
If you remove Switch it's literally One Punch Man level sales for PS4.My Hero: One's Justice 2 for PS4 is out of the top 30 (so less than 1683) while the NSW version sold another 5095.

Breath of the Wild has done really well! Best-selling Zelda ever! The number of publishers who would perform human sacrifice to have one of their games sell that well (even the Square half of Squeenix) is real high.
Oh sure, I didn't mean it like I was trying to downplay botw's success haha. It's a fantastic game and all of it's sales are deserved, I just pointed out how surprised I was that Animal Crossing did that good. Like, I knew it was popular, but I never expected this.
And kinda the opposite for Winning Post 2020 :P =)My Hero: One's Justice 2 for PS4 is out of the top 30 (so less than 1683) while the NSW version sold another 5095.
Looks like Ring Fit Adventure is getting some additional content.
From the latest Nintendo Direct, Ninjala now got a release date (May 27) and its Free to Play.

Something seems off...
I mean, Octopath copied that from Bravely Default in the first place.Bravely Default 2 going the full Octopath route, demo, then survey probably followed by enhanced demo that carries over into main game.
