It makes me wonder if ff7 remakes sales were inflated due to COVID, and that is the reason the originals sales were so hight in comparison.

People like to tell me that animal crossing was so big because of lockdown but immediately get salty when I say the same thing about final fantasy

I don't think theres any reason to believe this. The sales were in line with the last mainline FF entry.

All gaming benefitted during the pandemic but Animal Crossing went viral for it's social components and escapism during a time where people couldn't meet or leave the house.
