Animal Crossing 3DS Grows Over 2 Million in Japan on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Animal Crossing: New Leaf has dominated the Japanese market, outselling other key 3DS games in a short space of time.

New Leaf blossomed in Japan on November 8th, introducing a warm blend of new and existing elements to the popular franchise - including taking on the role of town mayor, swimming and more exterior customisation.

It's now the fastest Nintendo 3DS game, and the only one, to cross the 2 million mark in Japan alone. That's a fair bit of Animal Crossing, around about 1 in every 110 people owning a copy.

NeoGaffer Road put together an animated chart showing just how much of an impact Animal Crossing: New Leaf has had compared to other popular contenders, including Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7 and Monster Hunter 3G - all of which are edging towards 2 million barrier at a steady pace.
