Will Animal Crossing NH beat GTAV on PS5 and Series XS

This question is impossible to answer. No one knows the breakdown by platform What percentage of those sales are on PC? Is it 5% or 50%? I'm seeing wildly different responses on this thread already, because no one really knows.

In reality GTA5 is outsold by several Nintendo games when you compare sales on a single system. When you take that 130m and start splitting it 5 ways, then it doesn't sound nearly as impressive. Back when NPD would report software numbers Mario Kart Wii would regularly kick GTA4's ass on the monthly charts, and Mario Kart stayed on the chart longer. Not long after that NPD combined PS3 and 360 SKU's and stopped reporting software numbers. Third party titles "magically" moved up on the charts. Nowadays it is even worse, because they lump PC sales in there too while NIntendo games do not have digital sales included. GTA5 doesn't hold any of the major records either even though I've seen several online sites report this. Has it sold more copies than any other video game? Nope, Tetris and Minecraft have sold more. Has it generated more revenue than any other game? Nope. WoW has to be billions of $$ ahead of everyone else. (Just do the math on subscription money + expansions.)

All of this smoke and mirrors means that we'll never really know the answer to the OP's question. But do a little math and you can be sure that AC:NH will outsell GTA5 on any single platform (except maybe PC). Combine XBox and Playstation for any generation and AC likely wins there too, but again, we'll never really know for sure.
