I'm wondering what people's expectations are for the lifetime sales of Nintendogs + cats. Considering how huge the original game was, I was expecting the sequel to open a little better on 3DS. I know the game is about continued sales and not a massive opening, and that it can't sell that much yet, because the 3DS has a very small install base. Still, I think the early signs for the game are not that positive. I was initially expecting the game to sell ~50% of the original game, so 12-13 million. Now I'm think it will be more like 7-8 million, which is obviously still a big success, but only a fraction of the original.
So what does everyone else think? Also, if you think Nintendogs and cats will sell significantly less than the original game, do you think that is a bad sign for follow ups to other big DS games, such as Mario Kart 3DS or a new Brain Age game?
