Nintendogs being a launch title helped I'm sure. And as zorg mentions, it was massively popular during the DS gen. Cute ftw. Splatoon will likely go down as the most important game Nitnendo released during this entire console generation, though Awakening gets special kudos as well.

I actually think it's entirely possible that the fact that it was a launch title might have hindered sales...

Think back to buzz and advertising for the 3DS when it first launched...

The mainstream public (meaning casuals) was unaware of 3DS's existence...

It was therefor unaware of the existence of Nintendogs+cats...

I think it's entirely possible that had Nintendogs launched when there was greater public interest in the console, the game might have actually sold better...

Good point. Additionally, the longer they waited, the higher the demand for a new Nintendogs would have been. Makes you curious how much it would of sold in 2012-2014, when the 3DS was at its peak.
