Stitch, you seem to be quite confused. Animal Crossing Wii is a true sequel - not some minor spin-off.
Pokemon D/P is the main game, and Pokemon BR is nothing like it. Your comparison is like comparing the sales of Mario 64 on N64, to Mario Picross on Gameboy, and then concluding that Mario games invariably sell far worse on portables.
Besides, Animal Crossing games have traditionally been on Nintendo´s home console. GameCube was fairly popular in the U.S., but did horribly everywhere else (see VGchartz or Nintendo´s Financial Reports). And in the U.S, the GameCube version has actually sold more than the DS one (although the DS version will eventually catch up and surpass to the GC one in a little over a year).
Animal Crossing is the kind of game that benifits greatly from being on a popular system, because of the community and trading aspects. And the Wii is the fastest selling system ever.
This is a main entry in a series that is among the 6 biggest in the world (see previous posts). It is bigger than Halo.
Like I said before, if simexchange were european or japanese, this game would be properly valued at >1000DKP.
