AC is gaining in the poll, though to be fair when I started this thread "corona" meant a mediocre beer, and I doubt any of us dreamed that a year later we'd be in the worst pandemic since the Spanish Flu, or the effect this would have on AC.

I have not looked into existing figures.  I was purely basing off of the fact that AC is one game, and Pokemon is two.  Also that Pokemon is...well...pokemon.

Clearly it looks like I may have been misguided by any advantage Pokemon may or may not have had though lol.

If the data from SuperData is correct and AC sold 5m digitally during March we are looking at launch month sales of 12-13m. Compare that to Pokémon which sold 16m in two months during the holidays. Yeah Pokémon is getting crushed.

Humm, very few people own both Pokemon versions though. Not saying they don't exist, but they aren't that representative 

Man it's driving me nuts that we still don't have any solid global numbers for AC.

I mean we know it's huge, but with their quarterly report delayed it might be a while til we know just how huge, compared to Pokemon.

It's times like this I really miss the software charts, inexact though they were.

Japan is over:

Next step, USA

do we have the number of yes and no prior to the release?

Oh no! Its happening all over again! God dammit! Why didnt I predict a global pandemic would happen during the release of Animal Crossing which actually is helping its sales. 

From memory it was about 32% for AC and 68% for Pokemon.

When this thread first got bumped it was like 20 votes AC and 70 votes Pokemon.
