Folks Actually arguing Animal Crossing wasn’t a big deal. Just look at the history of the series. It always, always sells gangbusters. Add the Switch effect, the revolutionary changes to the gameplay, and yes, the pandemic, and this is no surprise. For those who think this was a fluke, just watch the next Animal Crossing be in the top 5 selling software titles on Switch 2. It’s all but guaranteed. There are a lot of naysayers to the gameplay loop of a game like Animal Crossing, but cozy gaming is a big deal. Like Guitar Hero, Wii Sports, GTA big. It has crossover appeal that few titles can achieve.
Again, not saying the pandemic didn’t help bolster those sales, but regardless of the pandemic, New Horizons was always going to be a 20+ million seller.
