NintendObserver’s select content on the fiscal year ending March 2020.
"With Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the speed at which it sold initially was far higher than originally expected. Consumers had high expectations for this title from the start, and so we thought we should aim to achieve total lifetime sales at around the level we’re at now, but sales numbers have grown faster than we expected right from release."
Just so you know, Animal Crossing New Horizons sold 13.41 million units in six weeks.
18 titles published by Nintendo sold more a million copies within this last fiscal year, and that includes Astral Chain.
"Regarding the impact of COVID-19 on our earnings forecasts, production and sales volumes may decrease for a certain period of time, but we anticipate that production and sales will be able to meet demand for the full year and that we will be able to release software titles now in development as planned."
"It appears that delays in production and shipping are gradually recovering."
"Animal Crossing: New Horizons, released in March, sold 11.77 million units, which is now the best start ever for a Nintendo Switch title."
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe still on top with 24.77 million units sold as of March 31, 2020. Also: The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild outsold Super Mario Odyssey.
Nintendo Switch at 55.77 million units sold as of March 31, 2020.
