Forums - Sony - Does EyePet have a chance to become like Zhu Zhu Pets?

Apparently Zhu Zhu Pets are the crazy of this Christmas.  I was wondering if there is a chance for EyePets to become like Zhu Zhu Pets in that mothers will be seen everywhere rushing out to buy a PS3, a camera, and the software, so that their kids can have it over Christmas.

Anyone see this being a possibility?  Or at least get to the level of NintenDogs?

lol no.

Eyepet requires a large investment (~$350) while a Zhu Zhu pet is a fad that costs, what, $20?



Too expensive for that.

It will sell well, but it wont become the "OMG we need it!" thing.



                            

Am I the only one who has never heard of a Zhu Zhu pet?

It's this years Furby, Tickle Me Elmo, ect.

It's a small little robotic hamster that moves around...and that's about it I believe.  From what I hear, it sounds like a cat toy.

Eyepet as some problems detecting depth, I don't know if it is my room or not but I wasn't properly brilliant when I tried it at my place.

Also, the monkey looks creepy.

Designing things on paper to scan on the camera is pretty fun though.

I've never seen a Zhu Zhu, but I know Walmart will only sell 2 per custmer (and that is the only thing I've ever seen/heard about them )




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

...now you are, i just googled it :D



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

I think the more sensible to ask is if Eyepet has chance to outsell Activision videogame interpretation of Zhu Zhu, to bring the whole question on more common ground.



Zhu Zhu Pets= $10

EyePet=$400

You tell me......
