Famitsu Sales: Week 16, 2020 (Apr 13 - Apr 19)

[PAOerfulone]

At this point, Animal Crossing's sales potential are well beyond anything Final Fantasy has or will ever hope to achieve. New Horizons is well on its way to numbers and heights in Japan that we haven't seen since Pokemon's peak in the late 90s.

Let's use New Leaf as a comparison. According to this site, after 2013, New Leaf sales in Japan were at 3,761,766 units after 61 weeks on the market.

New Horizons is at 3,611,246 units after just 5 weeks........ Holy Shit...
And that's not counting digital, which is all but guaranteed to favor the Switch, which would mean New Horizons' overall totals in those 5 weeks may likely have already surpassed New Leaf's overall totals in 61 weeks.

.... Jesus H. Christ

Bottom Line, there's absolutely no telling how high New Horizons can go or where its ceiling is. This may be the most interesting of all the Switch games to watch moving forward.
