It will pass AC: Wild World because it adds more to the series than any other sequel to Animal Crossing.  It actually makes AC seem fresh and new.  The previous versions were more repeats (not that I didn't love them).  This actually mixes things up in a good way.  So New Leaf will easily outsell Wild World.

"Best versions" of game series don't always outsell their predecessors. It won't be surprising that New Leaf gets the best reviews (out of the series) yet, but it also won't be surprising if it doesn't outsell Wild World.

"Purchases of Animal Crossing: New Leaf, launched last November in Japan and South Korea, have also been mostly digital due to short supply of the physical version at retail, and because the game is "one that you can enjoy every day over a long period of time." The title has shipped 3.86 million units to date, with one quarter of the total sales being digital. This number includes sales of the special Animal Crossing 3DS XL bundle which includes a digital copy of the game. The bundle will launch alongside the game in North America this June."

So sales in Japan and South Korea are almost to 4m right now.  VGC has it listed at 3.3m.  Digital sales are huge for this game!  Plus, the Animal Crossing 3DSXL bundle is helping a decent amount
