It will be interesting... Nintendogs vs. PKMN DP... Both games could end up with 15 million in sales.
In NA, Nintendogs did 1.7 million in 2005... and 2.45 million in 2006... But its already done another 450K in the first two months of 2007... It could easily do another 2 million in NA, getting up to 6.5 million...
Going by shipments, its tracking about 600K units above NA in "others." Could get up to 7 million in others, plus the 1.5 million its done in Japan... Thats 15 million units. Nintendogs could honestly be chasing down San Andreas by the end of this year...
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
