dayum!

honestly i would've picked pokemon too.

Even with my biases I would not have thought Animal Crossing could actually beat Pokemon. I mean it really doesn't matter at all, but it still makes me smile.

I did vote Pokemon, back in March 2019.  At the time all we really had to go on was historical precedent and predictions about how each would appeal to the demographic Switch had amassed.

Yeah its crazy that we are now looking at AC probably blowing Pokemon away. Never would have guessed that. I knew AC would destroy its series sales record, figuring it had a decent chance to hit 20 million. But now we see 20 million will only be the beginning for New Horizons.

This also makes me think of how much better Pokemon Sw/Sh could have done if they actually lived up to their potential. I still believe Pokemon has the higher ceiling and that Sw/Sh sales are the lowest they could be.

Yeah, I guess the answer is very clear now. Animal Crossing is substantially bigger than Pokemon.

Do we have any concrete numbers on which to base this claim yet?

It's very clear Game Freak incompetence is preventing Pokemon to get even higher numbers. This is literally the second most famous game franchise in the world, I daresay it's the most famous. In therms of marketing nobody is as good as GF and Nintendo, they do the best they can for the brand, but when we talk about the game itself the results has been constantly lackluster 

That’s crazy to say now. Even if ACNH does outsell SWSH, that just means ACNH is bigger than SWSH. Not that animal crossing is bigger than pokemon
