"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!

Japan I'm not worried about. NA and Europe are. I have a feeling that they won't be as supportive to New Leaf as they were to Wild World.

That is why you need to buy the Animal Crossing 3DS XL bundle.  Then you can walk around the park with it in your hands and all the hot women will go up to you like you have a cute little dog.  They will then pet you on your head and it will make them want to buy the 3DS bundle (because you look so cute with it).  You can help increase sales 10 fold.
