Hmmm...I did just read that. Holy shit, I think you might be right ...

 

10M is nothing to scoff at but Fire Emblem being higher is confusing to me ... I don't know anything about Animal Crossing but it should be more popular WW than Fire Emblem especially in Japan. What I'm guessing, and again I'm not an AC fan so I don't know, but what I'm guessing is that the micro-transactionsaren't egregious enough and that because those games are common on phones it didn't do so well. Whereas ... if my understanding is correct .. Fire Emblem Heroes has micro transactions based on heroes? Which would make a lot of money given the kind of game FE is 

My feeling is that many (completely anecdotal) still rather want a "real" full Animal Crossing game. However, I think the separate releases and little coverage caused it to not be downloaded as much as previous entries. Either way, it still performed very well considering. I'm curious to see how Nintendo thinks about it in their next report.

Just need to announce the Switch game and then work out compatibility with phone game where you can earn bells or whatever and be able to transfer that to Switch character.  Would be like hooking the GBA up to the GC to be able to go to the island in the original Animal Crossing only this time you can actually move 6 feet away from the console while earning bells.
