I think over 2mil, maybe 1.5-1.75 this year


Seriously what's with people believing that this will even remotely come close to WW numbers? Gimme some reasons



As a Nintendo fan that played all (mostly) major franchises except for AC, i've seen a whole lot of, yes, Males wanting this game. Nothing wrong wit that but i see it anticipated for alot of people. Also AC is over 100k without a release date for pre orders here. It will rise up probably over 300k which means 1st week sales we might see somewhere between 400k-500k then give it every week, 200k-150k-90k-80k-60k-50k. Then come holiday with Pokemon boosting hardware players especially young probably go wit NSMB2 or "AC". See where im going at???

I do, but you're being very optimistic here. Of the people I know, AC is generally a female game, I found out about it myself playing at my friend's house (she was a girl) and it never really "stuck" with me. I'll still most likely get it at some point, but don't you expect the female audience for this to be almost non-existant?

Then do you honestly expect Nintendo to take a risk and market this in a pre-dominant male gaming audience for 3DS? I'm just really afraid that if this title doesn't do well then Nintendo might go "well guess there's  no market here for Japan games after all! Cancel all localizations!"

Yes, I expect Nintendo to market this game. They can't just throw it out there and expect it do perform amazingly.


Wanna bet on 1st year sales of AC in NA? I say no more than 550-600k

OK. If Animal Crossing sells more than 600k in NA by year's end then I win. If it sells less, then you win. 

The loser has to put in their sig that "*Blank User* Was obviously right and I was obviously wrong. I will forever be a lesser being than them."

How's that sound?

Thank you for accepting my 1st bet. So we're doing it from release to 52 weeks? How long for Sig control? 1 month?

We are doing it from release to year's end. Isn't that what you wanted? (I don't know if 52 weeks is year's end...)

It won't be Sig Control, you'll just have that in your sig. I say 3 Months.

You're locked in it now!

(You might have hope, though. WW, according to VGC, only sold 400k in it's first year on NA Market.)

Edit: If you want to back out you can. I was just kidding.
