A large number of Japanese women have bought Nintendo 3DS systems specifically to play Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Nintendo shared in a recent earnings Q&A session.
?
Nintendo president, Satoru Iwata, presented the above chart to attendees. The chart on the right shows the number of women (in pink; men are in blue) who registered Animal Crossing: New Leaf and the Nintendo 3DS system on Club Nintendo in the same week, indicating that these people bought 3DSes specifically for the game.
?
Several of these women who registered both the console and the 3DS hardware together, Iwata says, were between the ages of 19 and 24.
?
Above is another chart. It shows that, while Animal Crossing:?New Leaf is most popular with 10-12 year-old girls, the game is selling to a large number of women ranging from 19?24 as well. In fact, it?s selling more to this age group than the previous game on Nintendo DS, Animal Crossing: Wild World.
?
The reason? All of the 10-12 year-old girls who bought Animal Crossing: Wild World are now older, and were among the first people to pick up New Leaf.
?
More women owning 3DSes means good things for certain third-party developers, too. Games like the Harvest Moon and Rune Factory series, published by Marvelous AQL, have significant female followings, and could benefit from the larger female userbase.
