Rumour: The Animal Crossing Site Is Undergoing Massive Overhaul Possibly Pointing To New Game

Animal crossing sells far better than metroid.
Portable animal crossing games have sales of approximately 12 million. So ueah its big enough.

Also did some digging and apparently in Japan all Animal Crossing games BUT the original and the Gamecube one have been released in Japan in NOVEMBER! So a global release of a new Animal Crossing game would be in November UNLESS Nintendo of Japan wants to break that tradition

No, in actuality, it’s not. It’s only a big seller in Japan, because you look at Europe and US sales, they’re together below what they are in Japan! Plus, there’s also the issue that many people overlook and that’s that Animal Crossing only sells high on handheld because people buy multiple copies of it to have multiple towns- I know one person who bought 6 copies to have 6 towns since it’s only 1 town per copy. Since Switch allows people to have up to 8 accounts, they won’t need to buy 6 copies again to do this, meaning the Switch version won’t be nearly as high as Wild World or New Leaf’s both 12 million. It’ll probably have lifetime sales between City Folk’s 4 million and the 12 million, so I’d bank LIFETIME sales of the game to be around 8 million, with probably a 4 to 5 million launch, that’s not a high selling game, Pokemon would do 2 or 3 times that easily!

I really, really, REALLY hope this is the case

It never occurred to me that people actually owned multiple copies to have multiple towns. I guess it shouldn’t surprise me, since I don’t know many Animal Crossing players after all.
