Will Switch in Japan sell as much in Monster Hunter launch week as it did in Animal Crossing launch week?

Considering that World was more casual than hardcore fans would have liked, Rise has a lot of their established fanbase thirsty for another traditional entry. On the other side of that coin, World also got a lot of new people into the franchise in general. With both of those being a factor, and Rise being a MAJOR, console exclusive...I would say it is likely to beat AC in the short term. Those long term legs however is another discussion entirely.

I do think that lifetime, Rise will sell more than World on all platforms combined...or at the very least come very close to it.

Possible. But the bet was about Switch sales, not game sales
