Forums - Sales Discussion - DS Total Sales: Can Pokemon Diamond/Pearl overtake Nintendogs??

Nintendogs sits roughly 13-14 million copies worldwide between all the different variations.  It consistantly sells 20-30 thousand copies per month in North America, 8-10 thousand in Japan and 20-40 thousand in Europe.  It has increadible appeal with young female gamers and dog lovers alike.  It's also (almost) sold more copies in Europe than North America and Japan combined.

 Pokemon Diamond/Pearl comes from a long great selling series.  It has already sold over 5 million copies in Japan and over 2.5 million in North Ameria.  It's already sold 7.5-8.5 million copies world wide. Will a Europian launch (if any) be enough to overtake Nintendogs as top spot, or will sales drop like a stone?  Does it have the continued sustainability like so many other DS titles offer?

 What do you think?

Assuming Nintendogs is still selling well in Europe, (which it probably is, but as we don't have any "others" charts here and Chart Track counts the Nintendogs games separately, I don't know for sure) I don't think Pokemon DP will overtake it.


Add 5 Million for "others" sales to DP's total and it's still losing by around 500K. Nintendogs is selling around 28K and 2.5K in North America and Japan respectively. I'll assume it's selling 25K-30K weekly in "others". DP is selling 15K a week in Japan and sold 50K in North America last week. So DP won by 5K-10K this week, but as North American sales of DP are still falling, in a week or three Nintendogs will be winning weekly, and the 500K gap, or whatever is left of it, will start to widen. And so Nintendogs wins. As the 5 Million of "others" sales won't all be added at once, DP won't actually come than close to overtaking Nintendogs. A lot depends on Nintendogs' "others" sales though.



Nintendogs will sell more than Pokemon.
