UK - Animal Crossing NH has a bigger launch week than every other AC game combined. 2nd biggest Switch launch behind Pokemon SwSh. That makes it in the 130-190k physical range in the UK and no doubt digital % is super high.
In Japan AC had the biggest first week for any Switch title at COMG, much bigger launch than SwSh or Smash. We'll see if that applies to the rest of Japan on Wednesday.
Insane first week sales, judging by this, twitch and social media. This game is absolutely everywhere, I can't wait to see Nintendo's sales PR on this. Wouldn't be surprised to see that this is Nintendo's biggest launch for a Switch game (and would that make it Nintendo's biggest launch ever?).
It's possible. It's retail first weekend in Japan alone is projected to be close to 2 million and this is a heavily digital skewed title. May be the biggest oppening of a Nintendo game ever.
