There's no stopping Animal Crossing: New Horizons, our new home and hangout in these troubling times. Earlier this week, we reported on its huge opening sales here in the UK. Now, the sales picture is in from Japan and it's a similar story.
Put simply, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is Japan's biggest Switch game launch ever. In just three days, it sold 1.88m physical copies (thanks, Famitsu).
It ably beat the previous game to hold the Switch's fastest-selling game record - Pokémon Sword and Shield, which managed a combined 1.36m sales over the same time period.
