Animal Crossing: New Leaf Secures Second in the UK Charts, Again

Everyone's playing this when I look at my Friend's List on my 3DS.

Also, FIRST. whatever....

I will get New Leaf tomorrow

Pretty much everyone on my friend list, and every street pass I receive is playing this

I will get this after I beat fire emblem

While I'm glad it happens, I don't believe a game with great reviews are always guaranteed great retail sales. Great games like Beyond Good and Evil, Okami, Psychonauts and others were blessed with really high reviews but plagued with poor sales when they first came out. (Ironically, all three of these games received HD re-releases this generation.) I'm glad Animal Crossing is doing so well, but great review scores do not always equal superior sales.

i dont understand why you almost never put up the chart in these articels. would be way easier to see what game is on what place than having to read the entire articel.
yes i know the source has some sort of chart. why not paste it here too?

Wow... looking at these comments I feel really alone. None of my 3 friends play animal crossing and I've only ever gotten a single streetpass from someone I didn't know. As a result my streetpass mii plaza is pretty incomplete.

Awww... But you still didn't count my copy from today, I'm sure this was the copy that held it back from first place XD

is nintendo a bit on the stupid side should have ported this and upscaled the graphics to wii-u aswel.

_{no name calling, please. play nice.-k8smum}

It would be great if NL could report on other European software sales as well..only reporting about the UK charts make the 3DS and Wii U look worse in Europe than it actually is...

how is it stupid releasing great games to another nintendo console instead of waiting till next year to build reputation back. i just meant they have great 3ds games and are obviously putting everything they have into the 3ds when their wii-u is struggling and losing potential customers here there and everywhere. if new leaf was on wii-u aswel it would sell wii-u consoles

I'm getting this today!

@S7eventhHeaven I'm pretty sure it's not as simple as totally shifting development from the 3DS iteration and plopping a ROM on the Wii U. If they were to take EVERYTHING: all the assets (probably thousands, including all the furniture, villagers, and objects, fish, bugs, fruit) and upscale them, it would take /sooooo/ much time. Would it sell Wii U units? Most likely. Are they developing a Wii U Animal Crossing? Without a doubt. However, this game needed to happen for the 3DS, it was promised to consumers three years ago, and literally /everyone/ would be angry if they decided to shift it to the Wii U. So don't worry. It's a fantastic little game that is just right for the 3DS. But in due time, you'll get your HD Animal Crossing.

I'm not kidding. Every where I go I see this game being played or spoken about, also sometimes at night around 15-20 are online playing Animal Crossing. Great to see it doing well.

That's goid, but I wanna see NA chart now -_-

@manu0 The other European sales aren't announced.

Good to see my beloved Nintendo doing well in the charts even if this game is not for me. Everyone is going mental on facebook and social sites for this game. Since the 14th I have never seen so many people leaving their phone in the pocket and pulling their 3DS out. From the trains and buses to the playground.

I am not surprised to see the success of this game. It's loads better than previous versions while still keeping that same, familiar charm. I look forward to playing it everyday.

NLife aren't favouring the UK users, it's just very easy to get the chart info for the UK every week. In other regions it might not get released.

This is my first Animal Crossing and I'm loving it. I find myself constantly wanting to collect new specimens and fossils to build my museum collection, and earn bells to improve my town and pick up new items. Great game, great depth and humor, it's superb.

Pretty much 85% of my friends list have been/are playing this at any given time, haha, myself included. Incredibly addictive.

I'm catching up on the many Wii games I missed out on my Wii U, which is the one reason I haven't gotten Animal Crossing: New Leaf yet. Never played a title in the franchise, and now I'm positively intrigued by it.

I should get it early next month and see what the fuss is all about.
