Though, as the above image from Nintendo shows, in the first 6 weeks of sale, Animal Crossing: New Horizons sold a whopping 13.41 million copies, outselling every other Animal Crossing game’s lifetime sales, and becoming the 6th highest selling game on the Nintendo Switch.
While there were interesting tidbits of information in the report, the most highlighted was the overwhelming success of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, especially compared to the earlier entries in the Animal Crossing series.
For a quick comparison, what Animal Crossing: New Leaf (and Welcome Amiibo) sold in 8 years, New Horizons sold in just 6 weeks.
