Animal Crossing: New Horizons Has Best First Year Sales In Europe

Nintendo has reported that Animal Crossing: New Horizons has had the best first-year sales, of any Nintendo game in Europe. This news comes in reporting that over 7 million copies (physical and digital) have been sold since it's release on the Nintendo Switch in March 2020.
