Popularity of Animal Crossing

[nightglow]

Do you think the next Animal Crossing game will cause Animal Crossing to become even more popular? Or not have an effect?

I know at the time of this posting, we know nothing of the next Animal Crossing (6) game. However, many more people are aware of the title of Animal Crossing and it's characters, because of New Horizons' success, than before 2020. Public familiarity makes the marketing to customers larger or more effective.

However some feel that down time and boredom of pandemic are the only reasons for familiarity or the 2020 popularity of Animal Crossing and it's characters, ultimately causing a fluke or false sense of Animal Crossing being popular.

I was under the impression that those who purchased and played the game enjoyed it.

How likely do you think New Horizon players will purchase the next Animal Crossing game?

ACNH was released when people had to stay at home. It was way popular then because people needed a way to kill time and this game was it.

Almost five years have passed since it happened and we've since transitioned to normalcy. I think the next game will still be popular with how well-known Animal Crossing is now, but not as much as ACNH because I feel like some people tend to give in to a trend when everyone they know is into it, and then they drop it after a while. Example: slime used to be popular when I was a kid, and I used to enjoy making it because of the videos. Nowadays I've stopped, and I don't like touching slime anymore lol. But hey, you never know...
