Found it 800k digital sales ⇒ http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=195149

This is at Jan 30th so digital sales including DL cards should well be over a million!

Did you read your link? 300k of the 800ks are download carts/vouchers which are included in these numbers? That would put 500k+ digital which is still really good. 12-15% is more believable percentage.

I wouldn't expect there be good digital legs on any game also available via retail. Especially on systems with large userbases.

Yes 500k a year ago. At that time it was 2.7mil (including both DL cards+Digital) which would mean abut 2.2mil is sold excluding digital. over 1.7mil sold this year (just retail+DL cards) puts it at 4.4mil and not including a years worth of digital sales. 

Big question is how many more digital sales did AC get from Feb 1st 2013 - Today? It could be as low as 100k but then again it could of jumped up another 200-400k. We dont know unfortunately  

I would hedge my bets on the low end unless it's much cheaper digitally versus retail. The Japanese used game market is so big, I don't think anyone would want to pay more whenever you can find copies everywhere. This is a big reason why a lot of major games don't have fantastic legs or their get cut short, because the used game market is appealing to those wanting to sell and those wanting a cheaper game.

Your statement is true with 99% of games. I think AC is different but by all means doesn't mean im right with it selling 200k-400k extra. As both have no proof and for some wierd reason lots AC users rather buy it digitally as it was shown US+Europe have huge Digital sales as well (nowhere near japans level though)

We can both agree on Digital sales (excluding DL cards) are at Least 600k in japan. How much more we dont kno. If i find out i'll let you kno

This makes AC in japan have at least 4.6mil sold as of now!
