Not really. Animal Crossing has bigger appeal to the mobile audience too -- more casuals, and tons of women ... women are what drove Candy Crush to huge numbers. Mobile is a market that is totally tilted to Nintendo's appeal. |
You're not wrong. Nintendo has stated that most of the audience for Animal Crossing in Japan are women and they've also stated continue targeting that particular demographic. Plus Isabelle is among, if not the, most popular characters in Japan, even beating out Pikachu.
