http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=161240&page=1 I changed my prediction from 8m to 10m because I saw someone predict 9m. I of all people have to predict the most. I got burnt pretty bad on Goldeneye 007 Wii prediction a long time ago though (I predicted somewhere from 7 to 10m in sales for that game when first announced... lol). This should be a better bet though on high sales. It should sell like hotcakes especially during holiday season.

if it sells 10mil by years end, expect 15-18mil lifetime

Its at like 3.5 mil in japan now? So I figure it can get to 4.5 mil there then 1.5m in NA and 1.5mil in Europe so 7.5 million by the end of the year.

3.86m as of March 31st for Japan and South Korea. http://acnewleaf.com/2013/04/24/animal-crossing-new-leaf-has-passed-3-8-million-copies-sold/

So probably +4m as of now. Digital downloads are huge for this game and VGC doesn't track digital. Not sure why they can't update the numbers to at least official Nintendo statement.

bump me up to 10m tbone!

good luck :) also check out the other ones if you havent already... link is in nintendomination under my name 

Hmmm, I'm going to guess 7.7 million. That's based on NA selling about half of Japan, and Europe selling slightly more than that. Then factoring in that the casual crowd isn't as strong on 3DS as DS especially in NA. Also, I think Pokemon, and ALTTP2 will overshadow animal crossing this holiday. I don't see this being as successful as wild world.

this will be tricky since a lot of people will go digital...
ok 8.42 million

why doesnt vgchartz count digital? makes no sense

How would they be able to?
