This is incredible. With the Japanese population being so tightly packed I think the gamers are going to have an awesome time with the street pass and online capabilities of the title. It should become very popular, which is kinda exactly what this series needed. Its always been one thats very near and dear to me. So go Animal Crossing!!!! I dont think Nintendo realizes what a real potential gem of a series they have

I have a feeling they realize now...



Have a nice day...

It's more like retailers determine the size of shipments, not publishers. That's why in Japan you constantly hear of games that receive additional shipments a couple of days after release day, because retailers underestimated demand, but the publisher already has more copies ready to be shipped. You can't order production of additional cartridges, manuals, boxes and ship it all within a couple of days to retailers.


Well what I was getting from the article (http://www.siliconera.com/2012/11/10/animal-crossing-new-leafs-first-shipment-is-500000-copies-in-japan/) is that Nintendo increased shipment based on pre-orders being high :(

True they did ship more but it is retail that must order them.  A store won't take a shipment of product they didn't order.  Think of the money angle.  Would Nintendo ship 300,000 new units without knowing if retailers are going to pay up?    That's about $15 million worth of product.  Those have to be bought first.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

Well, the numbers are official now. 200k on the eShop including download cards. Around 80k directly from the eShop itself.

This is why I think that Japan will always love DS/3DS more than America does. I'd play mostly in my own room... But I guess this is an incentive for me to walk around with it in the city. :x

I need more friends that play AC for me to take advantage of the game in general... Sigh. Sucks being the only Nintendo gamer out of my friends.
