It was never going to be that close, especially in Japan. Trying to predict sales based on the original which launched over two decades ago doesn't work. Much different market these days. In particular the Final Fantasy franchise is not nearly as big as it used to be, while the PS4's market is significantly smaller than PS1's.
Meanwhile, Switch games have generally been selling much higher than than games launched on the 3DS, and New Leaf's official numbers I think are about 12 million from Nintendo... and it's still actually selling a bit. 5.75 million of those are in Japan, so even if New Horizons just held that number and didn't beat New Leaf it would comfortably beat FFVII.
Ten million was basically the maximum for FFVII and the minimum for Animal Crossing. JRPG is just a far smaller market.
