Updating my Switch lifetime prediction again. Switch is selling beyond my expectations. And it's insane how fast Animal Crossing is selling. The original game had 4 different releases across 2 platforms and wasn't even originally going to come to the West. Wild World made the series mainstream, City Folk is the black sheep, and then New Leaf turned it around and was the highest selling Animal Crossing up to its time. And now New Horizons has outsold New Leaf's lifetime sales in only about 6 weeks. It's not crazy anymore to say 25 million lifetime for New Horizons is a lock.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 151 million (was 73, then 96, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 57 million (was 60 million, then 67 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
