I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear that the 3DS moved a ton of units this week. Four people from my own family bought the system over the last year and a half (including one this week) specifically for this game.
... I can't believe.. This game of all games is a system seller. Let alone of that calibur.
Animal Crossing is a game that appeals to almost everybody, casual and hardcore gamers alike.

It's a well developed sandbox game, and it's aimed at people of all ages/interests. If you broaden your target audience, of course you're going to get more sales: Just look at Sims, Minecraft, Plants VS Zombies, Zelda, etc.
Stay safe, kids: Make sure to save frequently during multiplayer, and always use a stylus!
Hmm, we got tons of calls about it at the Wally World I work at. I've gotten a lot of tags recently (I bring my 3DS with me to work for lunch & breaks) and they've all been from lady Miis that were playing AC
This is an entirely unscientific analysis of course but I'd say that this game definitely moved some consoles
