This. The game is perfect for lockdown as it's designed to be played every day.

Coronavirus ruined everything. This garbage doesn't deserve to sell.

Awfully convenient.

What?
Are we sure it's not someone who misread "better than any game" in the serie?

>Nintendo Switch goes on sale in China
>suddenly virus outbreaks in China
>World in lockdown
>everyone buys a Switch and Animal Crossing.

Nintendo are behind all of this.

So how many is that again?

Oh it's legit

>Animal Crossing: New Horizons sold more digital units in a single month (5.0M) than any console game in history. The Nintendo-published title broke the console record for monthly digital game sales previously held by Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII. Animal Crossing: New Horizons also roughly matched the first-month digital sales of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Pokémon Sword and Shield put together. The game’s combination of social features and a relaxing setting likely appealed to individuals stuck at home. Closures of brick and mortar stores also meant that a higher share of consumers purchased the game digitally compared to past Switch titles.

No its more than ANY game. Digital sales.

It came out during a month that the WHO recommended video games as a way to overcome the isolation

Basically: a massive fucking sales campaign

It sold 2.5 times as much in Japan than FF7R on a console with half the install base. Original FF7 sold 2m in Japan on the first day, when there were only 5m PS1's sold in Japan. Needless to say it's a very popular IP in Japan.

This has nothing to do with the chinese virus. Animal Crossing has never been even remotely that popular, especially on home consoles. It's all to do with Switch being hugely popular with women and bugmen, the biggest and most braindead coomsomers who easily fall for every marketing trick. Pretty much every nintendo 1st party franchise is beating records on Switch, with a fairly small install base, at least compared to Wii and NDS/3DS/GBA. It's not like these new installments are doing anything much better or revolutionary, so why are they suddenly so much more popular than they ever used to be? You could say that these franchises grew in popularity over time and that's certainly true, but Wii U proves that this isn't the reason for them selling so well.

This. Amazon kept delaying mine so I said fuck it.

That sounds absolutely fucking fake and i need a source. More than any "ever"

No console game has ever sold more than 5 million copies in one month? Not GTA? Nothing?

digital units
as in not physical. I think something like GTAV or smash has more still.

oh DIGITAL. So it's fucking nothing then. No shit digital sales are up.

This is why the dumbification of video games will continue
It just works
