Nintendogs Selling Outta Control News Story From 1UP.COM
Nintendogs Selling Outta Control – Who knew so many were too lazy to raise real pets?
by Patrick Klepek, 09/01/2005
Riding off the hype from Japan, Nintendogs is already becoming a repeat success in the US, too. It’s only been available for a week, but Nintendo’s reporting sales upwards of 250,000 units already – that’s nearly 15% of total Nintendo DS owners! Holy crap!
Thankfully, the other major release for the system, Advance Wars: Dual Strike, doesn’t seem to be completely lost in the shuffle; Nintendo says the game has quickly become one of the company’s top sellers. They haven’t released any sales data as of yet, however.
Right now, Nintendogs is even reportedly maintaining a solid position in the top three spots on Amazon.com’s purchase list, and if this rides out like Nintendo’s other phenomenon ideas, we’re not even close to seeing this peak yet.
Also, for all you wanna-be dog owners, make sure to check out our sweet strategy guide for the game that ran last week.

Frankly, I think this was a great idea for a game.
