Looks like Ninty pulled another pokemon here.
I know at least 5 girls who purchased this "game" so I expected a "success" but this is just incredible.

To me, that says more about how poorly it was doing pre-NintenDogs than anything else.Originally Posted by Zubiac666
Fantastic news! Nintendogs deserves recognition. It does what it does very well. I was a little unsure how us Europeans would take to playing with virtual puppies, but the signs are looking good. And even if Nintendogs isn't your cup of tea, a blue or pink Nintendo DS at £99 with bundled game is a steal!
How do you... erm... justify that? I just can't understand that. We know the Nintendo DS has been performing pretty much everywhere. Am I confused?Originally Posted by anagrama
Wow thats alot. This game isnt a new concept. Catz & Dogz was made for PC (maybe mac too) in 1995 and is basicly the same as Nintendogs. Anyone remember those games?
By "we", I assume you mean die-hard Nintendo apologists?Originally Posted by THATinkjar
Anyway, I'm not trying to spark another arguement, so I'll exit the thread here.
I do, I still have a copy of Dogz 3 somewhere around here...Originally Posted by jajaja
I like Nintendogs -- finally got a copy of the Daschund edition. My first pup is a male husky called Rocky.
Heck yes. Catz ruled!Originally Posted by jajaja
I remember one Christmas, we were all downstairs eating dinner on Christmas Eve, and we could all hear my pet pining for attention. I went upstairs, petted my little feline friend, printed some photos and headed back down with a photo album Ah, the memories!
But, I do think Nintendogs is vastly different. It is far more structured, for one. But yes, Dogz and Catz did kick things off quite nicely
For the record, neither was I I'm sorry we couldn't discuss this further. I'm not always "clued up" (so to speak). Sometimes (translation: often) I get my wires crossed. I really just wanted to understand.Originally Posted by anagrama
Both Dogz and Catz were released for GBC but didn't do much sales-wise. Dogz also announced for GBA within the last couple of days as well.Originally Posted by jajaja
Ah ok. Havnt tried those, only the PC version. Dont know why Nintendogs is so popular. Maybe because the DS is very popular right now and the touchscreenOriginally Posted by mikeetler
Well in the Store that I manage here in Aus I have completely sold out with little chance of me getting any more untill early December.
What is funny about that is I accidently order the things twice so I was stressed out I had far too many copies, then the went out the door like, well pokemon.......................
I would love to see Dogz or Catz come back for OS X.
Oh man that takes me back. I owned Catz 1-3 Dogz 1 and Petz 4 and i loved them all. They we're my inspiration for buying Nintendogs. Here's hoping we get a Famicats.Originally Posted by jajaja

I'd be interested in the following reliable sales data:
Nintendogs in Japan, USA and Europe.
Hardware sales of DS and PSP in USA and Europe.
Software sales of DS and PSP in Europe and USA (including UMD movies for the PSP). (hardware and software sales have to be distinguished, and reveal sometimes surprising gaps)
Does anyone have reliable numbers?
Considering the source, I think the numbers are hyped. I think also that Nintendogs is not the hottest selling videogame here in the USA either. 250 000 sold in the first week of its release???
well, lendelin, their (revo-europe) Japan numbers are the media create (www.m-create.com) numbers, i have no doubts those are correct.
gamesindustry gave us the same numbers too

They can say what they want but without Pokemon there wouldn't be a Nintendogs. There wouldn't even be a Nintendo DS. The black and white gameboy would be sitting on the collectors shelf next to The Sega Game Gear and collectors would all pose the question of why the handheld systems never seemed to work.and, more recently, America, where Nintendogs became not only the hottest-selling video game, but the best-selling new franchise ever for a portable video game system.
Pokemon was released in 1998, nearly 10 years after the Game Boy's debut. The Game Boy Color was released two months after Pokemon hit shelves. The original Game Boy's success had nothing to do with Pokemon at all. At best you could make the arguement that the GBC would have failed without Pokemon, but I highly doubt that as well.Originally Posted by Buyatari
I just wanted to say that I fully agree with this. Pokemon wasn't the reason the Game Boy excelled. If you wanted to make this argument, you might be able to convince me that Tetris did it, but even if Tetris hadn't been done, something would've happened somewhere that would've made handhelds into a popular system.Originally Posted by neuropolitique
