Why is the PUMA X Animal Crossing collection so significant?

The PUMA x Animal Crossing: New Horizons collection is a very significant one for the Animal Crossing franchise. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is growing steadily in popularity, and this is proven by the fact that giant organizations such as PUMA are eager to collaborate with the title.

PUMA is the latest among a long list of organizations that Animal Crossing has collaborated with in recent times. Prior to PUMA, Animal Crossing: New Horizons had collaborated with big names such as Sanrio, Monopoly, Build-A-Bear, and Super Mario as well. Nintendo is earning huge profits from its hit title Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

However, most of the fandom is not pleased with this collaboration. Players believe that Nintendo should focus on providing the big update that they have been eagerly waiting for since E3 2021.

There has been much gripe with Nintendo's conduct with Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and players reckon that these big collaborations might prove to be another distraction from major issues.
