I'm more curious now to see how this will affect Switch's Animal Crossing, because unlike Pokemon Sun/Moon, it's on another platform that is WAY more expensive. Put it this way, if Animal Crossing: Switch doesn't outsell New Leaf which is now poised to be the highest selling in the series thanks to this bump, the massive price jump between the $20 New Leaf, and $60 Switch will be why.
Same can be said for Pokemon too but the gap is much smaller. We will see how it goes!
