Were you not on twitter during SWSH launch weekend? It was huge. And obviously pokemon gets huge attention from non gamers, it’s literally pokemon. But yeah 17-20 million with such a short timeframe is impossible |
It didn't get the attention AC got or is still getting. AC even broke into non gaming circles the two aren't remotely comparable.
New Leaf sold 13m which is only 3m less than the Pokemon games on 3DS and New Horizons is going to be far far bigger than that and by default crush every Pokemon game not named Red or Blue.
