Animal Crossing: New Horizons moves 1.8 million physical units in Japan in 3 days, Switch sells 392k for the week (new hardware record)
An insanely good debut
Behold, the power of Animal Crossing! We have the early sales data for Japan, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons absolutely killed it. It's no surprise to see that New Horizons took the top spot, but now we know how many physical units sold.
According to Famitsu, Animal Crossing: New Horizons sold 1,880,626 in just three days. That's just the physical number, as Nintendo doesn't report digital sales. It's also a record for Switch software, beating Pokemon Sword and Shield, the previous record-holder (1.3 million in 3 days).
Even more impressive, the Switch managed to sell 392,576 units in a week. That's the new record for most Switch units sold in a single week, launch week included!
