The magazine Famitsu speaks of around 1,9 million boxes sold - in the first three days. Including digital sales, the game is said to have gone over the counter 2,5 million times in the first few days after its launch, according to analyst Daniel Ahmad. By now, Animal Crossing: New Horizons sales are likely to be much higher.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is setting records and Nintendo is currently using a smart update and content policy to ensure that it could stay that way for the time being.

Future DLCs for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which will be released a little later than planned, could be affected. Director Aya Kyogoku has confirmed this to the Washington Post. Fans should therefore not be surprised about postponed release dates for additional content. Health just comes first. According to Kyogoku, the delays are not certain.
