A portable version would crush 3 m LTD. I think your estimate of 3 million is highly, highly unlikely too ... AC on Wii only sold 3.38 million with 5x+ the userbase the Wii U. I think about 2 million LTD is much more likely. 

There's nothing you can post to indicate Animal Crossing will be on Wii U. The only comment from the game's producer is above and it's highly ambigious. 

It hasn't been announced by Nintendo, and IMO it won't be. But lets see. 

The way I see it, what's the big deal anyway? Anyone who has a Wii U is likely a hardcore Nintendo fan is going to buy the next Nintendo portable/Fusion platform, so what difference does it really make? You'll be playing the game either way. It's smarter for Nintendo to get the benefit of it being a launch window title and more crucial to their future success. 


You mean the way many thought MK8 selling 3m at the point wouldn't be possible as well? Please don't give me me the usual userbase arguments that have fallen apart previously before, AC would easily hit 3m LT that's the average for the console versions, also AC on Wii sold 4.61m.

Your logic in the last part of your post highlights why you're not CEO of a platform holder nor ever will be, SEGA used that exact logic with their hardware and even abandoned the Saturn and moved titles over, they found that in the long term it's a bad idea as consumer question the commitment to the platform. Like it or not you don't abandon the present because under your logic all the games coming out this year should be moved to the next platform.
