I wonder if Animal Crossing could keep the Switch sales higher than usual long term instead of just the first few weeks away from release. Sometimes there are games that could make console sales higher YoY for longterm for months to years after it's release. I remember Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U not only had a successful console sales week when it released, but for months after Mario Kart 8 released we saw the Wii U sales double from usually 30,000 a week to 60,000. I wonder if Animal Crossing could increase Switch sales long term after it's release or it'll go back to usually soon. We have to wait and see

With the current lifestyle that we have to live, I think Switch sales will be higher regardless of Animal Crossing. The Switch is the perfect device for our new "normal". The best couch co-op games, best family games, ability for someone to continue playing their single player experience while letting someone else use the TV, etc. I think the Switch will set sales records this year (even more so if anything happens to Series X/PS5 lauches).
