Will Animal Crossing face the same fate as Nintendogs or Brain Training?

Seems like a more Japan-centric game, like Fire Emblem. Not that they're similar in genre, but that they do far better in Nintendo's native country than in other territories. Especially launching in the Spring instead of the holidays, yikes. I have low expectations for New Leaf over here. It's not exactly a summer blockbuster. If they sold it at $29 instead of $39 they might be able to gain some traction, though.

FIre Emblem has proven to sell better in America usually though. 

Any comments on the Gender distribution of 3DS owners in other regions?

3DS is insanely popular in Japan, and Animal Crossing is the latest craze.  I don't think that Nintendo can realistically expect the same kind of response over here.  With females I'd say it's unlikely to come anywhere near the 60% in the US.  3DS is predominantly a male-owned system, and 3DS overall is soft outside of Japan, and Animal Crossing is unlikely to change the situation much over here.
