Based on the original tweet, I'm still not sure if it's 383 villagers in total, or 383 returning villagers. The wording is a bit ambiguous in the tweet, since it said it's sending letters to all 383 Nook's Homes customers. Are the new villagers we've seen considered Nook's Homes Customers?

i’m a bit confused on the numbers - new leaf had 333 at its initial release and the welcome amiibo update added 50 which would total to 383, but what about the 7 new villagers?
That's why we aren't actually sure yet - we don't know if the 7 new villagers are included in the 383 or not. If they are, that means some villagers were cut from base game + the WA update.
does this mean the wa villagers are base game in nh?? so you could get a wa villager as a starter villager?
Well we already know some such as Ketchup are.
