If we just count all previous mainline AC games (excluding Amiibo Festival/Happy Home Designer) I'm 100% sure that NH has outdone them all combined. Digital included, it's outdone everything including those two (and likely even including all the 5000 re-releases the original game had on N64 and GC)

They only released the numbers for AC, full-week sales are to come later: https://www.famitsu.com/news/202003/25195316.html

They only said 394k Switches, no word on ratio yet. I'd guess they held a lot of stock in reserve for this.

There's a graph at the bottom of that page in the link. Switch lite seems to make up around 2/3 of the overall switch sales

Yea looks like it, nicely spotted. That would mean about 130k regular switches and 260k Lites. Suprised they even had that many Lites left and the regular switches definitely came out of nowhere. But I guess it might just have been reserves like Ringo suggested.
