Pikmin 3 Deluxe

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been a massive success. It has already sold over 26 million copies worldwide despite releasing this year, and has helped move a ton of Switch hardware.

While speaking about the game during a financial results conference call, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa shared an interesting tidbit. Interestingly, Furukawa said that “Pikmin 3 Deluxe has frequently been chosen as the next title after Animal Crossing: New Horizons by many consumers, especially in Japan.” It makes sense that Nintendo wants Switch owners who started out with Animal Crossing “to become aware of and play as many different titles as possible, regardless of whether those titles are new or evergreen.”

Furukawa had this to say when asked about how many of the previously released titles that hit the million mark in the six-month financial period were ones that people can enjoy playing together, and whether they were consciously recommended to Animal Crossing players:

Nintendo Switch

During the conference call for Nintendo’s latest financial results, president Shuntaro Furukawa was asked about the sales outlook for the next quarter and what can be expected for year-end sales.

Furukawa mentioned that Switch hardware demand has been strong into October, and “sales are continuing at a good pace.” Despite not having a major first-party title like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or Pokemon Sword/Shield, Nintendo is still hoping for “another big holiday season”, which is “thanks to the many consumers, including those new consumers who developed an interest in Nintendo Switch because of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, picking up our new titles, titles released in conjunction with the Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary and our evergreen titles.”
