I remember saying Animal Crossing on Switch will be hard to beat New Leaf before New Horizon was announced. The fact this is happening in less than 4-5 months of its release is crazy.

They should have just made TW101 and TMS#FE free for NSO users or dont bother spending time to put it on Switch. Would have liked to see the same effort used on a different game ported on the Switch.

Both games should've just been left to rot with the Wii U.

Why? I think W101 fans are glad to see the game on Switch.

  • When looking at the Top 15s without New Horizon, 2019 vs 2020 first half Software totals are extremely close
  • With two weeks left 2020 needs to sale 339K more in order to overtake 2019 even without it's biggest game
  • Ring Fit Adventure could hit 600K by the end of the Quarter if there was enough supply
  • Clubhouse Games will likely end the quarter with 175-200K sales
  • One Piece will lose its spot in the Switch Top15 since Clubhouse, Zelda and Xenoblade will pass it
  • Outside of the Top 15 we actually have a couple of more games with over 100K Sales - Fishing Spirits, NSMBUD, Trials of Mana
  • We are seeing massive growth year over a year
  • New Horizon is going to pass 5M by week 26...

Hefty drops for SW and HW, I wonder what the rainy season will bring.

I can't see Nintendo waiting later than 2023 to replace the Switch.

Sales will be well passed their peak by then and it will be time to move on.

Depends on that what it does, FY21 is looking like it’s peak year, but if NSW really does aim and get 25mil this FY how much of a decline are you expecting for the next 2 FY?
