Pokemon rules japan

Looks like they like Animal Crossing more now than Pokemon (or at least Animal Crossing is outpacing it).

Pokemon is a million ahead

and it was released on a dead console *in japan*

No way will animal crossing get even close.

 

Yet you can play it on 3DS so the sales weren't affected that much from releasing it on a dead console.

Animal Crossing: Wild World (5.33m Japan) has outsold every Pokemon game in Japan except Red/Green/Blue, Gold/Silver, Diamond/Pearl, and Black/White.

I believe New Leaf is far outpacing Wild World in Japan.  Black/White sold 5.63m in Japan which barely puts it ahead of Wild World.  I believe New Leaf will sell at least 6-7m units in Japan.
