What will sell more, Animal Crossing Switch or Pokemon Sword/Shield?

Both are gonna sell over 20 million that's quite the feat for both of them and more than anyone expected. A single entry in the Pokemon series hasn't sold that well since Gold/Silver and Animal Crossing New Horizons is on track to sell double its previous game's sales.

I'd argue expectations for Pokémon were higher than the result we got before the big controversy. After the controversy people went all the way in the other direction and lowered expectations too much making it look like Pokémon exceeded expectations. But if you would have told people 2 years ago that the first console Pokemon would sell in the same range as Gold and Silver no one would have been surprised. Animal Crossing is a whole different beast though.
