I'm talking lifetime in Japan.
A portable Zelda has never made a million in Japan (although Phantom Hourglass was close at 0.95 million). Nintendogs sold 1.95 million in Japan. I doubt Nintendogs 2 will outdo it there, but it could sell nearly as much or equal it.

Why would you think that? It's a first party launch title so evergreen-ness is pretty much guaranteed and nothing seems to seriously indicate 3DS selling less than DS in Japan. Plus, it has cats, which are far more popular in Japan (what's wrong with the Japanese, :O!?).

When Nintendogs launced, it was kind of revolutionary. There hadn't been any really good pet sims on platforms other than the PC, and Nintendogs kind of did it near perfect on the first attempt.
Today, a pet sim on the DS/3DS isn't anything revolutionary. There have been scenarios where that didn't matter, though (like Modern Warfare 2, and Black Ops, both of which weren't really anything majorly new, while Modern Warfare was). But generally, that means it won't get the momentum that the original did.
