Animal Crossing or Crude Oil

Good move if you went with Animal Crossing Animal Crossing = around $65 (including tax) 3 barrels of West Texas Intermediate crude = $22.90 x 3 Choices, choices... Which should you buy? One copy of Animal Crossing OR Three barrels of U.S. crude oil

A screenshot of a Businessweek tweet compares buying Animal Crossing with buying three barrels of crude oil, which cost roughly the same in 2020. The joke treats a video game as an absurdly competitive investment against an everyday commodity, making it a reaction to an unexpectedly good purchase or financial decision.
