Is this Pokemon Gold/Silver ?

Nope, it's Pokémon Sword/Shield and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate combined vs. Animal Crossing: New Horizons on its own.

The fuck?

Also New Horizons is now the best selling game of the franchise at retail in Japan.

Wild Worlds LTD was 5.241.655

Which also makes New Horizons the 8th best-selling game of all time.
Next game ahead is Ruby/Sapphire at 5.337.045 LTD

I think New Leaf is the best selling Animal Crossing at retail in japan with 5'790'000 units ranking as the 6th best selling game of all time.

Where did 5.3 mil for Monster Hunter Freedom 3 come from? According to Capcom's own investor website it's 4.9 mil. http://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/million.html

with 5.28 million copies sold physically, this number of shipments: assuming they’re selling in the 80-100% range would look like this:

100% - 5.28 million
95% - 5.56 million
90% - 5.87 million
85% - 6.21 million
80% - 6.60 million

And that’s not counting digital. Which, based purely on my own hypothesis, this is a total shot in the dark so take this with a grain of salt, would be 1-1.5 million digital sales.

So overall shipped+digital numbers could range anywhere from 6.28 - 8.10 million.

I’ll say this: Nintendo’s upcoming Earnings Release next week is going to be the most interesting in quite some time.

i said this before if you go with capcoms digital ratio of 80% the game is at 26,5 million

Yep, Lite model increasing the baseline, Pokemon reversing its decline & Ring Fit still being severely stock limited should keep sales high until Animal Crossing (and likely a special edition Switch Lite) comes and sees sales skyrocket and keeps sales high through the Spring.

1st half of the year should be notably up YoY, 2nd half is more questionable as last year was absolutely stacked with Mario Maker (last week of June so most of its sales in H2), Fire Emblem in July, improved model in Aug, Link's Awakening+Lite model+DQ XI in Sept, Luigi's Mansion+Ring Fit in Oct & Pokemon+Mario & Sonic in Nov.

That will be a hard lineup to beat so it will be interesting to see what Nintendo has in store this year.

They don't really need to beat 2nd half line up to do better

They only need a price drop and a Animal Crossing themed Switch/Switch Lite. 

Animal Crossing demand will be constant hardware driver for a while after it releases.

New Horizon is unprecedented and it will probably be supported for years by Nintendo. 

It will be driving sales World Wide during the holidays without the need for any other games. Ring Fit will help and so would any other big game Nintendo has planned for the holiday but at the end of the day we are seeing Animal Crossing mania dominate 2020 and in Japan, you can multiply this by ten. It's the perfect storm of Switch being super popular, Big Breakout for a Big IP(going from 10-15M WW to easily over >35M WW), COVID, a potential financial crisis which usually leads to even more escapism.... and most importantly ZERO competition geared towards the new demographics buying a Switch for New Horizon(young girls and women are hardly interested at buying PS5 or a new Xbox at launch)

It would be amazing when it outsells everything in the final quarter this year. Gotta remember this is the game's first December. I'm thinking it will easily eclipse New Leaf which had it's first holiday shortly after it's launch. The difference is that next year DLC might maintain strong sales for New Horizon which is one of the reason I think this game will do the unthinkable a few months ago... outselling Red/Blue/Yellow/Green by 2022. 

New Leaf 2012 Holidays(Dec 3, 2012 - Jan 6, 2013)

  • Animal Crossing: New Leaf - 115.556(-3%)
  • Animal Crossing: New Leaf - 213.329(+85%)
  • Animal Crossing: New Leaf - 400.320(+88%)
  • Animal Crossing: New Leaf - 163.948(-59%)
  • Animal Crossing: New Leaf - 135.971(-17%)

TOTAL: 1.029.124

Also, I think Pokemon Snap will be huge this holiday.

Damn another week easily over 100k for Switch. Is this monster gonna sell 7 million this year??
And my god look at that AC, almost back to 100k. Mind blown. I wonder if AC in Japan is close to outselling AC in USA.
