Animal Crossing is not a game that is for everyone. First off, I don't believe every person will enjoy having to catch fish and rare bugs or hitting rocks to get money. Also, people may find paying off your house to be very tedious (and I wouldn't blame them either). I also think people may not like the real time gameplay if they are into games like the sims where they can speed through things with ease. Lastly, people may be more into action games and may find Animal Crossing's relaxed gameplay to be boring and even kiddy (I really don't like those type of gamers).
