Daily reminder that SwSh were the most anticipated releases of the franchise, and, by the time they reached their plateau, it only managed to sell about 2 million more than the average cutoff for pokemon games over the last decade. Meanwhile, Animal Crossing nearly doubled it's sales compared to it's last release, and in half the time it'd been out compared to SwSh. A 14% bump is what people are bragging about.

Pokemon had just as much of an opportunity to take advantage of it, on top of the prior holiday sales AND it had two rounds of DLC on the way to boot. How many excuses are you going to layer on?
