The number of consumers who started playing on Nintendo Switch because of this game continued to increase during the first quarter, from April to June 2020. Of all systems in the Nintendo Switch family that were played for the first time during this period, over half were used to play Animal Crossing: New Horizons on the first day. https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2020/200806_2e.pdf |
Pretty much, anyone dismissing the colossal system selling power of Animal Crossing is in denial.
By massively increasing the system's appeal to the female demographic, it has permanently enlarged the audience Switch sells to.
