Zelda went from 8 million to 31 million 3D Mario went from 13 million to 27 million Smash Bros went from 13 million to 32 million Mario Kart went from 37 million to 57 million Animal Crossing went from 13 million to 43 million A bunch of the major Switch titles had massive growth over their previously best selling entries, and many of them were “more of the same” as you put it. I’m sure the pandemic helped but I think Animal Crossing was going to have a massive breakout regardless. |
I guess that depends on what you mean by massive breakout. Adjusted for attach ratio, Zelda and AC are way ahead of the others in terms of growth, enough that you probably can't pin it on the same market trend.
Even if it had grown as much as SMO or even the open-world Kirby/Zelda, AC would have sold almost a whopping 20 million less.
