Digital entertainment is hot right now, with people binge-watching shows and spending more time playing their favorite games as they wait out the COVID-19 outbreak. With schools closed temporarily, there is no video game company benefiting more than Nintendo (OTC: NTDOY).
The Japanese game maker released Animal Crossing: New Horizons on March 20, and the latest installment of the popular Nintendo franchise is breaking sales records in Japan and the U.K. What's more, the game helped the Switch game system have its best sales week in Japan since its launch three years ago.
