I get what you're saying about Animal Crossing and I don't doubt it'll do huge numbers when it launches.

The part where I hesitate is: How much of New Horizons' success was the game itself and how much of it was because of the pandemic?

Even if 100% of its sales were exclusively due to pandemic, the fact it's a game with pretty high staying power in player engagement means the game cultivated a specific audience of fans who are expecting a new game. Anticipation for next entry will be on the roof
