After having seen a big boom following its release in March this year, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Animal Crossing: New Horizons sales have reportedly been dipping a bit recently. But you can bet that Nintendo is⛦ being quick to address t🙈hat.

Earlier this month, Nintendo held their Six-Month Fiᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚnancial Results Briefing for their fiscal year ending in March 2021. During the Q&A session, the company's president Shuntaro Furukawa and executive officer Hajime Murakami .

Hearing that New Horizons sales have dropped may come as a surprise, considering in July the game earned the title of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:best-selling game in Japan for 2020. In the same fiscal report which highlighted🌟 the recent sales ꦓdip, New Horizons boasted some other hefty achievements too.

For example, the game very nearly beat Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:best-selling Nintendo Switch game, with 26.04 million and 28.99 million units sold so far, respectively. New Horizons is also the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:second best-selling game of all time in Ja♕pan (with t⛄he first being Pokémon Red & Blue).

"The sales pace of Animal Crossing: New Horizons has eased compared to the period aroundꦆ its initial release, but among all our titles, this one continues to maintain high sales levels," says Furukawa. "This title is also driving Nintendo Switch hardware sales in Asian markets, which have relatively smal✃ler sales numbers than the markets in Japan, the U.S. and Europe."

To combat this "ease" in sales, Nintendo plans to up the ante in terms ☂of new content implementations in the near future.

“Going forward, we willಞ continue to implement in-game events and would like to create a situation where consumers will keep enjoying the game for a long time," Furukawa reports. Plus, he mentions that with Christmas coming up, Nintendo hopes that "even more people will take that opportunity to purchase the game.”

Despite this dip, it's tough to imagine the game staying down for very long. And even if it does, it won't change th📖e whopping figures it's accumulated thus far already.
