I vastly underestimated Animal Crossing.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons sold more digital units in a single month (5.0M) than any console game in history. The Nintendo-published title broke the console record for monthly digital game sales previously held by Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII. Animal Crossing: New Horizons also roughly matched the first-month digital sales of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Pokémon Sword and Shield put together. The game’s combination of social features and a relaxing setting likely appealed to individuals stuck at home. Closures of brick and mortar stores also meant that a higher share of consumers purchased the game digitally compared to past Switch titles.

 



They can make s****cough* days gone and it sells.

A good game does scary good.

This is updated daily. FF7 is number one now. The new creed dropped to 4 and GTA V is at 3. It’s a look at the current time not overall.

It was niche. Then it wasn't.

So happy this great series did well. Beenone of my favourite series over the last 2 gens, from Demon Souls to Dark Souls 3.
 
It’s a misconception Hard games with high skill ceiling cannot be popular.
 
I don't know if Nintendo has a Wii like juggernaut on it hands but its sure looking that way.

Key takeaways from the analysis:

  • The total number of console gamers reached 11 million in 2019 and will reach 19.15 million in 2024
  • The increase in spending through 2024 will be primarily driven by continued sales of Nintendo Switch, the introduction of a new console generation with Sony’s PlayStation 5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X, as well as increasing demand for HD games available on consoles, from both overseas and domestic publishers.
  • PlayStation 4 is the current market leader, but will be surpassed by Nintendo Switch, which is selling at a faster rate.
  • PS5 and Xbox Series X (expected to launch legally in China during 2021) will be key drivers of growth.
 
You know, they could have just cut Elon Musk a check and maybe gotten a real trip to space



How the f*** is this possible?...and why do people do that? Is there any benefit in crowd funding a game if it turns out to be a hit? I've never been able to understand. Being an investor with no potential return on investment never made sense to me.
