This is stupid, just because the HAND HELD GAME sold 9 million copies DOESNT MEAN ITS A BIGGER GAME.

Its not A BIGGER GAME, its not A BETTER GAME.

God of war is AAA and will move consoles, ANIMAL CROSSING DOES NOT MOVE CONSOLES.

It didnt move DS hardware, or GC hardware.

 

God Of War moves consoles? Yah right.

God Of War came very late in the PS2's life so we can't really accredit its sales to pushing PS2 hardware. So I would say the only time we can accredit God Of War of pushing any hardware would be to compare its PSP sales to the Nintendo DS sales. A clumsy 750,000 copies on PSP versus 9-million Animal Crossing on the Nintendo DS.

There you have it, two handheld games and Animal Crossing kicked God Of Wars butt 9 times over. If God of War had nine lives Animal Crossing would have killed it by now. Considering the games GameCube version sold over 2-million copies and God Of War on PS2 merly sold 3-million on a console with a user base about 4-times larger then the GameCube. As a franchise God Of War has had its butt handed to it.

Animal Crossing definatly pushes hardware. I mean I know people who bought DS's for Animal Crossing it managed to boost the DS's sales in Japan and abroad when it launched. The trading card game was insanly popular I could never get boosters because everyone was always sold out.

In Japan their are Animal Crossing toy's merchandize infact even here I recently saw one of those toy vending machines selling Animal Crossing keychains here in North America. The franchise is an actual franchise I don't see Kraitos vending machines I don't see God Of War helping push PSP hardware and I don't see or hear about a God Of War trading card game.

Animal Crossing is a massive hardware pusher or at least multi-million software shipper. I'd say if Nintendo can innovate the Wii one good enough we've got our selves a possible Pokemon killer. Their is no bigger franchise then Pokemon currently in the games industry never has a Pokemon game sold less then a million copies. At the current rate no Animal Crossing game has sold under a million copies either
