Yeah no. Animal crossing is one of those stealth money printers. It's like those Tinkerbell direct to DVD movies. You're like "what the fuck who buys this shit?" And then you go look up who's buying that shit and it turns out they make billions on it.

Mario Kart and Zelda should be above AC and arguably Zelda above Pokemon

You talking about the phone game or what? AC shouldn't even be near the top 3.

It probably shouldn't but it is and it's #3.

if you just count lifetime sales of the entire series, but Animal Crossing has far less releases than most and is fairly recent

Wild World was the best selling Nintendo game on the DS that wasn't Mario, Pokemon, Nintendogs, or Brain Age, and the latter of those two dropped off massively leaving New Leaf the best selling 3DS game that wasn't Mario or Pokemon

Only if you count lifetime sales.

Animal Crossing sells on average far more copies per title than any Nintendo franchise not named Mario or Pokemon.

Animal crossing is legit, i just cant stand the amiibo cards(or gamecube ones for that matter), plus pocket camp appears to be lowering priority for an ac switch title

Pocket camp was super boring. It was eternal fetch quest and fucking nobody would help you go into the mines it was like pulling teeth. All you have to do is open your friends list and click "send help" and then shut your phone off I mean was it that fucking hard?

There were no minigames or anything. Maybe it's different now but I was super fucking bored with it when I first started.

Fairly recent? 17 years isn't recent and if you count all the sales it still makes less money.
