@Yorumi most people saying this is new content are new to the franchise- it sold more in the past 4 months than any prior game in the series did in its entire lifetime, so all these millions of newbies don't realize how all these additions are from prior games (specifically New Leaf).
@TrueDespair666 doubtful, Nintendo has never given a home console an 7 year span between its release and its successor's release. The only one to get 6 was the Wii (2006-2012).
@sanderev "I think Nintendo pushed the Switch launch forward 1 or even 2 years because of the Wii U failure." Nintendo considers Switch to be a home console. So, 2012-2019 would have been the span of Wii U on the market if they hadn't "pushed the Switch launch forward 1 or even 2 years". Name me one Nintendo home console that had 7 years on the market before its successor. For reference, let's look back NES (1986 nationwide US launch) SNES (1991 US launch) N64 (1996 US launch) GameCube (2001 US launch) Wii (2006 US launch) Wii U (2012 US launch) Switch (2017 US launch)
The only pushed up time would have been a half a year, because only Wii lasted 6 years, so unless Wii U sold more systems than Wii would it have lasted 6 years, no other Nintendo home console got more than 5 years, and remember the NES had over 90% of the US market, and it didn't even get 6 years as its nationwide launch wasn't until 1986!

Since everything present is based off its past, then yeah, it's got less content than every prior Animal Crossing game.
