Nintendo Official Site #s are as of March 31st! Now lets compare...

VGCharts - IR Info
2.05mil. ~ 2.60mil >>>Nintendo Land
1.87mil. ~ 2.15mil >>>New Super Mario Bros. U

VGCharts - IR Info

8.45mil. ~ 8.29mil >>>Super Mario 3D Land
7.99mil. ~ 8.08mil >>>Mario Kart 7
6.05mil. ~ 6.42mil >>>New Super Mario Bros. 2
3.36mil. ~ 3.86mil >>> Animal Crossing New Leaf
3.05mil. ~ 3.28mil >>>Nintendo Cats+Dogs
3.08mil. ~ 2.95mil >>>The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
1.51mil. ~ 1.97mil >>>Paper Mario: Sticker Star
1.03mil. ~ 1.29mil >>>Pokémon Rumble Blast
1.95mil. ~ 1.22mil >>>Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
1.05mil. ~ 1.18mil >>>Kid Icarus: Uprising
0.71mil. ~ 1.11mil >>>Mario Tennis Open

Conclusion? Mario Tennis is another Million Seller! Animal Crossing is heavily undertracked (probably due to digital) and should be over 4mil at this point! Paper Mario should be over 2mil now!

Also NSMB2 Should be around 6.60mil-6.75mil!

Well I am sure Nintendo knows exactly what they are selling. This is actually really good, maybe Vgchartz can use this for digital numbers.

could you ask them? They might listen to you! The #s are all the way from March 31st! So that means all games should be much over like Mario Kart 8 could be around 8.25-8.40mil!

That would be crazy that Mario Kart 8 could possibly hit ten million by Christmas. That would be the first 3DS, ten million seller. Right? Mario maybe closer.

hopefully both hit that mark this year! Dont forget Pokemon will boost hardware so people not owning 3DS games will get SM3DL and/or NSMB2/MK7/LM2/etc
