I think the bigger seller will be... | |||
| Animal Crossing | 63 | 42.28% | |
| Pokemon Sword/Shield | 86 | 57.72% | |
| Total: | 149 | ||
This is tough one, both will sell more than 15m, Pokemon is bigger and it will sell more than AC in first year-two,
but Pokemon legs will be cut down buy new Pokemon games, while we will have only one AC game on Switch,
so I will say AC will sell more.
Pokemon will sell more than Animal Crossing, for sure.
Still, depending of how Nintendo holds its marketing, I think the next Animal Crossing has the potential to, at least, match New Leaf sales, which were insane.
Pokemon. Both huge franchises but Pokemon is literally 1 of the biggest!
Pokemon 18-25m.
Animal Crossing 14-18m.
This would still see huge growth for Animal Crossing and decent growth for Pokemon.
DON'T WIN ME CHIBI BUDDY DON'T WIN ME.
ANIMAL CROSSING NEW LEAF FRIEND CODE:- 5129 1175 1029. MESSAGE ME.
ANDY MURRAY:- GRAND SLAM WINNER!
In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!
Pokemon is gonna sell unnaturally high numbers, will break records on the Switch imo.
Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive
If we’re counting sales of both sword and shield, I don’t see how this could ever happen. If Animal Crossing sees a solid boost and if there are more and better Pokémon games in 2020 and 2021, but basically, those ifs won’t happen.
On the plus side for Animal Crossing, it has gone from mildly innovative Harvest Moon clone to one of Nintendo’s top 5 selling franchises, you can’t complain about that.
I'd go with Animal Crossing I think Pokemon will have the bigger launch but Animal Crossing legs will carry though the entire gen whilst other mainline Pokemon games eat into the legs of Sword/Shield.

Makes sense, with Pokemon getting a new game sooner than later and AC only seeing the one release this generation making it an evergreen title |
Pokemon will likely sell what AC's lt hits within it's first 10 months or at least by the time the next game arrives, AC has never even come within range of matching the first mainline Pokemon game's sales on the same platform even with the series growth (P/D outsold Wild World by 6m and X/Y outsold New Leaf by 4m) if anything this should be more AC can outsell the following games which is even a struggle itself as AC has only ever managed to outsell one mainline Pokemon after the first which was USUM which came out at the end of the 3DS' life.
To the people who are also saying about growth do you really think AC will have growth and Pokemon will have none? PLG has very possibly outsold every AC game in 4 months providing potential growth before SWSH has even landed.

I think this Animal Crossing is going to the first time a lot of people buy it. Would not be shocked to see Animal Crossing cross the 20 million mark which is more than what Sword/Shield will sell
I do not think Sword and Shield's legs are gonna be cut off by the next game whenever that releases, at least as drastically as some are predicting it could.
There really has not been a precedent in regards to that. S/M continued to sell even when US/UM were announced, same with US/UM when Let's Go was announced. Sure, the legs will decline, but I find it hard to believe it will be that drastic. Hell, Let's Go is still selling in Japan despite having Sword and Shield just announced.

No Animal Crossing game has ever crossed the 15m mark. Every single first mainline entry in a Pokémon generation has sold at least 15m. What exactly makes you think Animal Crossing has more room for better sales than Pokémon does? Pokémon is one of the most widely recognizable franchises in the world, in and outside of gaming. It's known by just about everybody, has had almost a billion downloads on mobile (a figure AC Pocket Camp doesn't come even remotely close to), and for decades has had people dreaming of a home console mainline release, which is finally about to happen, on an extremely successful console whose main releases have all been breaking sales records left and right. Why, exactly, is Pokémon Sword/Shield not going to outdo its predecessors? Honestly I just don't see how. 20m copies sold is pretty much the worst case scenario for Pokémon, whereas it's very much the best case scenario for Animal Crossing. |
I just think Nintendo is really going to push this game, more than any Animal Crossing has been pushed before. I fully expect it to be their focus as E3 much like Smash was last year. There is no reason why with a consistent stream of new content-updates Nintendo can't make it an evergreen title that will sell well until the Switch is replaced
