Nintendo made more profit during the Switch-era than they did from the Famicom through the Wii U.

2020 helped. Lockdowns happened right when animal crossing came out

And they essentially abandoned it less than two years after release. (2020/03/20 - last content update/v2.0.0 2021/11/05) Regardless of whether it was dedication to the next version, they still left a shitload of money on the table when they could've added a little content and kept attracting new players.

That’s pretty normal for animal crossing games.

Nintendo generally doesn’t keep adding content for games long after release.
