"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.

B-but... I already have a 3DS! Nintendo can't take anymore money from me!

No. The 3DS does not have the same casual pull as the DS had.

Hmmm.... I wonder why Animal Crossing: New Leaf only needs less than 2m in sales (VGC has been behind on NL sales due to digital sales since they first started trying to track the game) to pass Wild World in sales for Japan...  Looks like Japan is eating up the game and if I could bet anyone I would bet that Animal Crossing will light up the sales charts in USA and Europe on its release.  Animal Crossing: New Leaf will be the most sold in the series.  Animal Crossing is a system seller for hand helds.


Japan.... There's a big culture difference when it comes to casual gaming from Japan to the west.

I don't think the DS ever got any special Animal Crossing unit (I don't think they really did that many special DS units like they have with 3DS).  Animal Crossing 3DSXL bundle is coming to USA and Europe right?  This should only add fuel to the fire for the sales.  There are a decent amount of Animal Crossing fans out there from the DS days.  Seeing Animal Crossing released on 3DS would probably warrant a purchase for many of these fans.  Please don't mention anything about smartphones...  Even the casuals know any sim based smartphone game doesn't compare to Animal Crossing.


You'll just have to see the numbers for yourself.



Sounds good. We will just have to wait. If AC:NL passes 7m by end of this year would you be open to possibility that it could pass 12m lifetime sales?


It depends on the rate at which it is selling. Honestly, I don't see how anyone could think that the casuals are buying as many 3DS games as they did for the DS.

Nintendo helped me get a woman by inviting her over to play Wii Sports.  I don't see why they can't help you with get one sporting the Animal Crossing 3DS XL with Animal Crossing (maybe keep Nintendo Dogs & Cats on you also).

It will pass WW, I'll make sure of that :D

I'm ready to swap lives with my character, I can hardly wait.


If only that were possible, I'd do it in a heartbeat, no joke! I'll bet anyone in my shoes would. But alas, the temporary detachment from real life while playing the game will have to suffice.

You could play Animal Crossing in real life! Go around and talk to all the animals you find... Well, most people would assume you are crazy though. I wouldn't mind considering I am a pretty crazy person (good kind of crazy). Anyways, I'm so pumped for this game to be released. I haven't felt this way for a game to be released in a long time.

I tried that but they keep running away from me, some even attack me. D:

But yeah, strangely enough I also can't wait for New Leaf, which I find weird considering the type of game it is. It's probably because I haven't played Animal Crossing in forevers. Oh, and cause this one has lemons in it. ^_^

Well normally I wouldn't post but since I posted one of my pics in the 3DS pic thread I just created I will post a few here.

Most recent pic I have (about a year old)

Picture of what I looked like right before I met my girlfriend (about a year before I met her)

Picture of me in college days

Picture of me on a cruise during college years (I believe a little after high school so I was probably early 20s)
